This scrappy-looking bottle confine comes from Mr. Iribe, an assumingly legendary Keirin track-frame builder in Japan. When he is not active creation bikes is to Samurai, "he creates a couple of bottle cages as well", says the content on Compass Bicycles' (Seattle) website. These hand-made cages are so good, it seems, that they are value $150 apiece.
So what do you obtain for your money? The Iribe Bottle Cage is done from stainless-steel tubing, with the sections silver-brazed together. Compass says that immaculate steel is feeble matched to fillet-brazing, so Mr. Iribe initial wraps the joints with strips of steel first. This, amalgamated with the un-plated complete and what looks similar to a spring from a ballpen, results in an trapping that looks similar to it was hacked together by a somebody during an emergency.
Compass's bard would disagree, adage that the confine "reminds me of a Samurai sword: a square of art that provides well-developed function."
The confine is light, though, at only 36 grams, or 1.27 ounces. we only weighed the initial inexpensive aluminum and cosmetic bottle confine we pulled from my bike-spares garbage bin and it weighs in at 60 grams. Of course, once you increase in a liter of water, that weighs 1000 grams (on tip of the weight of the bottle itself), then that 24 gram disparity looks vanishingly small.
And my bottle confine cost similar to $5, not $150.
