Bottle Cage - 02
BOTTLE CAGE:
Specialites T.A. - water bottle cage - down tube mount - 74 mm aluminum - satin finish with Black plastic top guide / clip (...later style T.A. "alphabet" logo) - model 417 ... [A period appropriate accessory in the form of a lightweight aluminum alloy T.A. water bottle cage which debuted back in 1973 and then continued to be produced with only minimal alteration well into the 1980’s (...other than the eventual availability of color anodized versions, the plastic top guide being the only true evolutionary modification - the original versions had a T.A. "chain ring" logo molded into them whereas later editions used the "alphabet logo" as seen here).]
