    Pink Bottle Cages??? Bontrager?

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    Hey guys. So, I've been trying to hunt down the perfect pink bottle cage. I really like the Bontrager Race Lite and have tried to buy it on SEVERAL sites now, but every one of them tells me it's an "in store pick up" only. I suppose I could call my LBS and see if they could order it for me, but does anyone know what the deal is with this?!!!

    I'm also open to other pink bottle holder options if anyone has any suggestions. I currently have the Velocity cages from the Terry website, but want something cooler looking that is light, but not super pricey! Bontrager seems like a good choice at $14.99.

    Thanks.

    I believe you can order them from the Trek website. In pink, of course.

    Terry now has new ones from Purely Custom - much nicer than the Velocity ones -- I have them and really like them:

    You can also go right to purely custom and get whatever graphic or saying you want.

    Gosh, the year I went to the HIlly Hundred there was a big trash can full of pink bottle cages for free - I got one. Not sure it's perfect, but it holds my bottles I do kinda wish I'd grabbed two or three...

    Yes, I tried the Trek website. Didn't work. I guess I'll call my LBS.

    I looked at the Bontrager ones in pink, in my opinion, they are rather cheap looking...And the pink is just too bright.

    Did you see them in actual real person? I've seen photos, but not in person.

    Yup, in person, at the place where I got my bike. BF even took a look at them today and made fun of how cheap looking they are. They look and feel so...plasticky. But to each their own! I went to PV Cyclery today and the guy told me that Specialized has some nice bottle holders that are pearly white with pink accents. He told me that they are part of the Susan G. Komen line, but he wasn't so sure. He will call me back on Tuesday to see if he can get some for me.

    I don't know how these look in real life, but take a look:

    http://www.amazon.com/Ravx-Arrow-Wat.../dp/B0010XPMEK

    They look like the bontrager ones, but are cheaper in price.

    and the carbon ones:

    The carbon ones are mainly black but have a pink stripe.

    I have them, and like them. They're on my Surly Cross Check.

    Not sure if my shop still carries them or not - I bought them a year or so ago.

    I realized today that my friend has the Bontrager bottle cages and I'm not sure it's quite what I want. A little TOO pink for me. Does anyone have any other suggestions. I do like the wider look to them, as opposed to mine, which have very skinny bars.
