WTD: steel, Ti or Al classic bottle cages

[Owsh]

Me again! I'm after some classy cages for a build. Something like king cages would be great. Say sub £40 for a pair or sub £20 for one? Cheers all 😀

Thanks Vickster, I like the look of the Blackburn cages. The 'chicane' is also a nice version.

If anyone has any Ti cages they're looking to move on I'd be interested

Cheap end of the scale, Planet X do some Elite Ciussi copies.

Just bought two for a retro rebuild in raw alloy colour.

The other option is a genuine Elite Ciussi - I really rate them and have one on my vintage road bike and my Full sus as they don't half hold onto the bottle well - never had a bottle fall off the MTB.

Wow can't argue with that price! I've seen a couple of the genuine ones on FB marketplace. I'll keep an eye out. Thanks fossyant

Snap (a month ago). But for a last decade build.

I'm not a planet X fan, but I have a few of these SS cages on my Ti bikes & they are good value https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/BOPXSTS/planet-x-stainless-steel-bottle-cage

Yeah these are lovely looking. Is it the shipping that puts you off planet X? For me it's the usual branding that's plastered all over their stuff 😓

I had a bit of an ordeal with their aftersales/customer service Think I waited until there was a free shipping deal & ordered a few of the cages I had a couple of spares, but they have now gone on the latest bike, so I may buy a few more if they do free shipping again at some point

I went with a pair of Blackburn chicane's in the end. Thanks for everyone's input
