Blackburn Vintage Black / Red Bottle Cages

✓ Original pair of bottle cages - produced in the 1980s
✓ Suitable for historic cycling events such as L'Eroica
✓ Checked & cleaned
✓ Worldwide shipping

Blackburn water bottle cages (or bidon holders if you prefer), hailing from the United States and in production during the 1980s. Made from aluminium/plastic and weighing in at 78 grams (the weight and price displayed are for a pair of cages). The perfect finishing touch for your vintage bike, but great for bikes of the non-vintage variety too!

If you're taking part in L'Eroica or a similar vintage event, these are of the correct era, so rest assured the pre-1987 police won't lock you up for having the wrong bottle carriers!

The bottle cages have been checked for damage, thoroughly cleaned and graded as very good condition, but do take a good look at the detailed photos so you can see the shape & condition before you buy.

▼HELP SECTION

Cage Fixing - most bottle cages will be designed to fix to the frame, although some rare older ones mount to the handlebars and/or stem. If your frame doesn't have any bottle cage braze-ons to fix to you'll need clamp-on bottle cages.

Bottle Fit - almost all cycling bottles measure between 70 - 75 mm in diameter so this is the standard bottle cage size, the only rather rare exceptions are some old Elite bottles that require a 66 mm cage, the more recent oversized ones and of course the funny shaped aero ones that only accept the bottle they were made for.
