Titanium Cool
Pros: Attractive, Good Fit, Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight
"I bought these titanium cages to replace carbon cages on my Bianchi S9 Matta Titanium frame purely because I am shallow and wanted a better asthetics.
They have enhanced the look of the bike, they are suitabley light weight and hold both my bidon and tool bottle snuggly but not too firm where the bidon is not easiy accesable though any corner even during the Heffron Park crit races on Saturday.
These cages are the duck's guts."

Pros: Attractive, Durable, Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight, Rugged
"I must admit, I bought these cages mainly because most cages looked ugly when mounted to my silver anodized Santa Cruz Superlight. I bought these simply because they have a very minimalist look. Plus, the fact that they are made from Titanium ( I'm a big fan of the metal), which is strong, and the bonus that they weigh next to nothing, means that these are actually top-value cages ! They come with nice low-profile bolts too, although I didn't use them because I have colour-coded bolts on the bike .
My bike now looks complete :D Also, they don't seem to scratch my bottles, which is great.
My CamelBak Chilljacket bottle seems a bit of a tight fit though, and I have to pull kinda hard to get it out of the cage, but at least it's reassuring to know your bottle won't get dislodged while riding hard.
Top cages !"

Light, good price and unique
Pros: Attractive, Durable, Great Value, Lightweight
"Carbon cages are very yesterday. Stainless is too heavy, but this cage is awesome. It has that burnished titanium colour, and really looks special... and they are 22gms.
Holds the bottle firmly no matter what the road surface, and does everything you expect from a cage.
Couldn't recommend it more highly"

Impractical design + weak metal
Pros: Attractive, Lightweight
Cons: Expensive, Low Quality, Wears Out Easily, flawed design
"I bought these cages to save a few grammes (for a joke, really). They certainly are lightweight and they look nice. That is pretty much all that can be in their favour.
The titanium bolts soon rattled loose, and the bolt heads rounded off when re-tightened so I had to replace them with bolts made from a proper heavy-duty metal, i.e. steel.
The design of the cage is impractical because unlike virtually any other cage, they only allow for the bottle to be removed in one direction (i.e. straight up). The standard bottle cage design allows the bottle to be pulled to either side as well. Why is this such a disadvantage? Because you cannot pull a 750ml bottle "straight up" on the seat tube without smacking it into your top tube (or your frame pump!)
In order to remove my bottle from the seat tube cage I had to twist it slightly to the side as it reached the top of the cage. This twisting action eventually took its toll on the notoriously weak metal known as titanium - and the part that screws into the frame snapped in half rendering the cage useless. To be honest, it was a relief as it gave me an excuse to go back to a normal cage. The titanium one had lasted less than 6 months.
Why do these cages have such a strange design? The only reason I can think of is because it clearly uses far less metal than the conventional design (i.e. less weight). But surely if the metal you're using is so much lighter than steel or alloy, why the need for this cheat?"

Less expensive & more functional than carbon
Pros: Durable, Adjustable, Lightweight
"I bought this titanium cage to match my Enigma Etape frame, which it does very well. Compared with the cost of most carbon composite cages, it was good value at less than £23.
Only criticism is that with a full 750ml bottle on board, it rattled until adjustment of the side-frames achieved a firmer grip. Something not so easily achieved with a composite cage."

Bought two of these
Pros: Lightweight, Good Fit
"This lightweight titanium bottle cage looks great on a bike with clean lines. Mines on a Trek Madone 6.9 - somehow I prefer the lifeline cages to carbon ones which can be quite chunky.
Functionally it holds the bottle firmly and shows no sign of getting 'baggy' with use. I've used it many times with 750ml and 500ml bottles."

Light, fantastic
Pros: Lightweight, Good Fit
Cons: Expensive, Unattractive, Limited Color Choices
"Lightweight and functional are the two words that best sum up this bottle cage. Certainly with it's bare titanium finish and slightly lumpy welds it's not going to win any beauty competitions.
It's basic titanium tubing construction does the job though. It's easily the lightest bottle cage I've come across, coming int at half the weight of some so-called lightweight carbon fibre offerings.
The design means that slight differences in bottle diameters is easily accommodated but I'd advise caution on deliberately bending it to fit as you could easily fatigue/snap the thing.
If there's one let-down it's the bolts that it is supplied with. The pair of steel bolts weigh almost the same as the whole bottle cage...
If you've got to have the lightest kit, get this and then get some titanium bolts too."

Good Gear
Pros: Rugged, High Quality, Lightweight, Versatile
Cons: Expensive
"Light, bendable to hold bottles firmly if needed and tough as nails. I had a prang on the bike with this cage on an Xlab behind the saddle and the bike skidded about 10 meters on the ground on the cage. Alot of grazes later I unbent the cage, which saved the saddle, and I'm still using the cage today."
