Beautiful, but not secure. Flimsy.

These are beautiful cages, there's no arguing that. But the flimsiness described in another review is real. Specifically, the bottom of your bottle rests on a small tab of titanium that, after not too much riding (I only used mine for ~2,500 miles), can bend on its own. When this tab bends down, your bottle will slide out the bottom of your cage when you hit a bump. I found this happening a lot with the cage on my seat tube, and the bottle would slide down and barely be held in the corner between the seat tube and down tube. You can bend that little tab back up into place, but at that point, it's a slippery slope and it bends back on its own more easily. Bummer, because these cages aren't cheap. If you want a good titanium cage, I'd suggest looking at King Cage. And places like Agave Finishworks make really beautifully anodized versions if you want flare (which, if you're looking at these oil slick cages, you probably do!).

No issues. They look great on a Ti bike and hold the bottles securely.

Light, good looking, and flimsy...

These are nice and light, hold bottles well, and look great, especially on a Titanium frame. Unfortunately they bend very easily and once bent are nearly impossible to return to the original shape.
