Two green and black bottles for my New Bike, also green and black.
They look very snazzy but I have realised too late that my old, scruffy see-through ones may be better, on account of being, well, see-through, so I remember to refill them before I go out. I can see me forgetting with these. Still, I'd rather have my teeth pulled than admit as much to my OH who couldn't see why a New Bike automatically meant new bottles...

For my Brompton I got a pair of Zefal Gizmos to fit a bottle cage to the main tube. Do they work? Do they hell. Going to try again tomorrow if not they might have to go on the handlebar stem instead. How have you added a bottle cage, if you don't mind me asking?

Asda stock a Bell universal mount one, £8 and the cage is only good for the bin but the mount is rather good, like a big rubberised foot that comes with Velcro straps to attach it, but I've replaced those with zip ties. It sits nicely on the bottom of the stem.
Decathlon do something similar with rubberised straps that you can fit your own cage to & the monkii bottle holder system is Brompton friendly too.

After faffing trying to get the IRC's on the Hunt wheels(very,very,very,very tight as in won't go on tight
);I've temporarly admitted defeat and got some Vittoria open pave 25's and some latex tubes from High on Bikes plus a Birzman CO2 inflator as my Lezyne one is leaking air as soon as you fit a cannister(dropped one too many times
).
Also from Wiggle a Topeak smarthead for the JoeBlow trackpump as the stndard head seems to go through seals like nobodies business plus a couple of pairs of DHB aeron socks for the better half.

Bought a new, slightly shorter, stem for my new bike. Wanted to keep it looking original and was struggling to find one but eventually tracked done a shop in Hull that had one in stock.

An Acor Headset bell so that I have one on both bikes.
