ive started carrying water bottles now that i am doing longer rides. my bike however doesnt have any mounts for a bottle cage. at the moment i keep them in my saddle bag behind my seat. i got some really nice vintage looking bottles from the outdoor store that are sockingly light.
what do you reckon to bottle placement?
behind the seat double? theyre easy to reach and dont clutter the bike so much. aero cost?
inside frame? the normal position, however, i dont like having to reach for them and its messy looking. most aero?
double on the front of handle bars. this is a real vintage look that ive only seen on internet pictures. i think it looks nice, and easy to use, but its got to be the least aero.
