Small Frame - no room for 2nd bottle cage

[Seajay]

I am about to take delivery on my new Wilier road bike that I've been having built up over the winter (will post pics after I get it tomorrow). The frame is a small and much to my chagrin, at this late stage it has been discovered that two bottle cages will not fit in the frame. Not the end of the world, but certainly something that I am not happy about. I know many here are small riders with even smaller frames. One bottle cage will NOT cut it and I don't like carrying water in my jersey - it's just uncomfortable enough to distract me. I've been googling for some other options, but wanted to know if any here have encountered this, what has worked for you. My first inclination is a rack (like tri riders use) under the saddle and carry tools in a wedge in front. Second is to use a camelback (and to heck what other roadies think ). Any thoughts on this? I'd appreciate any insight. Thanks!

Are there two sets of bottle bosses but no room or only one set? If 2...Sometimes you can use a spacer to move one bottle up a bit to create room. Specialized has side entry cages that work well with small frames.
The other option is to mount a bottle cage off the back of the saddle.

If there are two sets of bottle bosses, perhaps a magnetic mount?

I should have updated after my post #24 - those bottle cages that I linked to worked, so no more issues. Yay! I also discovered braze-ons on the underside of the frame, although I doubt that there would be wheel clearance for another water bottle mount. Two cages are enough for most of my rides and on those that I need to refill, I plan in advance, so I think I'm good to go. Thanks!

Congratulations! Not being able to take two bottles in the frame would be major! The additional bosses might be for other stuff, like a pump.
