Poor Smurf. I keep looking at the picture and hoping that some magical solution will pop into my head.

At first I was having a hard time wrapping my head around it because my bike is a smallar than yours and compact (XS/49 with a 51.5 cm virtual tt), and even though it's a bit tight, I can functionally fit two 24oz bottles on it -- they *do* have to be the new wide-mouth, screw top style that's a teeny bit shorter than the old "flip-top" style, but I can actually use them both while riding.

But as Margo points out, the lower boss on my bike is below the derailleur mount. Grrr. Boo on Blue.

Have you thought about Arundel side loader cages? I have regular Arundel cages on the bike in the picture and I've been very happy -- they're very solid but also reasonably flexible. Not that light though.

Anyway, I hope you find something that works. I empathize!
