If I am not mistaken, King cage is proposing solutions for frames without bottle cage mounts which is similar band-ons so they might be more sturdy?

That’s a great solution, thanks. Hopefully they’ll start selling them soon. The dream is to send it back to Mercian for a refurb so if I did that I’d get them to add bosses.
Problem is, it’s a ‘functional bike’ and I use it daily so sending it away for a month would be a PITA.
EDIT - They are selling them in the U.K. here
This is my functional bike in full dad mode. It’s a 1982 Mercian Audax conversion. I need to put a half link in the chain so excuse the #trackslack. It doesn’t have bottle bosses so I’ve been using cheap chrome band-on ones from eBay but they keep breaking because they’re cheap. Any ideas about alternative bottle storage solutions gracefully received.
