Today I finally spent some quality time on my own
bike again, and I put on the plastic Zefal bottle
cage using cloth tape on the down tube and then two
galvanized hoose clamps. The bottle cage is
designed for screws but the result seemed solid
enough. BTW it is an interesting bike. I think it
is from the early-mid 80s. A steel frame, it has
a Shimano Positron 5 shifter, but the single
chainwheel is so big even on a flat surface, the
biggest sprocket is the only one feasible to use.
But I love it anyway thanks to the 630 wheels and
cross levers for the rim brakes.


cloth tape holds moisture against the finish; poor
choice of material.


Against the finish?


The paint.
