Update of "Adding Water Bottle Cages to Bicycles without Braze-Ons"Web Site
I was amused to see my old web site on adding water bottles to frames
without braze-ons, being discussed in the Brompton Yahoo Group, with a statement that there were some products left out (it was last updated in 2002). So I've updated the site as of today, thinking that five years has been long enough! It's at "http://nordicgroup.us/cageboss/". Hopefully others will find this information helpful as well. If I've missed any products then please let me know and I will add them to the site. Steve |

You need to add some hotties thirstily sucking on water bottles and letting the pwraide run down their cleavage and stuff. |

Steve Steve: I was looking over your (excellent) coffee-carrying pages again, and, unfortunately, what's lacking is beginning to become painfully obvious. Very few people visit Starbucks or Peets or whatever with their own mug. There's a certain bizarre appeal to having your coffee in that silly, brand-identifiable paper cup. I do not understand why this is; perhaps much of it is simply convenience (not having something to clean). Whatever the case, someone should make a politically-incorrect coffee cup holder that works with a standard paper coffee cup. Yuck, but better than not having it at all, if it would encourage people to ride down the street to the closest Starbucks or whatever rather than drive. --Mike-- Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReactionBicycles.com |

"http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000AO7EQ4/sanfrancisc0b-20" "http://store.nycewheels.com/bottle-holder-bar-mount.html" The problem is that on a regular cup, when you go over bumps, coffee is ejected out the sipping hole. Isn't it great that your Los Altos shop has both a Peet's and a Starbucks essentially in the same shopping center (though the Starbucks is actually in Cupertino). Having Carvel next door is also good, though they don't have Lollapaloozas. |

The problem is that on a regular cup, when you go over bumps, coffee is
ejected out the sipping hole. Possible solution would be a second cap, placed on top of the first one (with the hole in a different location). Isn't it great that your Los Altos shop has both a Peet's and a Starbucks essentially in the same shopping center (though the Starbucks is actually in Cupertino). Having Carvel next door is also good, though they don't have Lollapaloozas. I prefer Peet's, but have you been to that particular one? If you're into the totally bucolic experience, it's great. You walk in and hear baroque music playing, which should tip you off.... the service is incredibly slow. And it's COFFEE you're there for. You know, that stuff with CAFFEINE in it. Not a glass of warm, soothing milk. There can be just two people in line in front of you, and you're talking 10 minutes. Starbucks? Maybe 3, tops. So after awhile you get to thinking the taste of slightly-burned coffee isn't so bad after all. Is this typical of Peet's in general, or is it just that location in particular? I've been to other Peet's that seem faster, but nothing is as fast as the typical Starbucks. And, as I said, it's coffee you're after, so "speed" doesn't seem inappropriate. I'll check out those other coffee-carrying options. Thanks! --Mike Jacoubowsky Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReaction.com Redwood City & Los Altos, CA USA "SMS ???. ?" wrote in message ...

Ususally I brew my own, but I go to Peet's occasionally in Cupertino and they don't seem any different than Starbucks in terms of speed of service. I usually go the Coffee Society at the Library in Cupertino as it's a three minute walk or one minute bicycle ride. |

I can brew a carafe of much better coffee for about 1/15th the price of a single cup at Starbucks. |

Steve There used to be a bottle cage that was one piece that had extended rails that fit over the stem and under the bars, and sat there. The were held in place with a tiny screwy thingy. Are they still made? I think that blackburn made them 20 yrs ago. Andres |
