I'm in the USA on ordered mine from fleabay. They shipped the day after I "won" the buy-it-now auction. I don't know exactly when I rec'd them, but suspect it was well inside of two weeks.

Yes, waiting sucks.

I love these cages! I've been using mine for about 250 miles so far and they have been nothing short of awesome.

Highly recommend them.

Has anyone used these cages with larger bottles? Specifically the Rapha (Camelbak) 710ml ones.

Thanks.

Here's my before and after. I'll post a picture of them on the bike when I get home. Only three rides in with them but I'm really happy with the product so far.

Redna it seems like you do not or have not owned them. So don't comment on their breakability or lack thereof.

I can understand why you might think that at first glance, but I have no concerns with them.

I don't own one of these but from what I've read the after sales support appears to be great.

Ordered this directly from Simon.. can't wait to get them! Never did get a tracking number either but I'd imagine they should be here any day now........

I ordered mine on 17/3 and only received the confirmed shipped email today. Should I expect another 2 weeks for delivery?

Been using these cages for about a month they're awesome! Holds bottles well and match the colour scheme (or lack thereof) on my bike.

I ordered mine directly from Simon as well and have been using them for about a year now. I cannot recommend them enough. They hold the bottles perfectly and besides being super light, they look great!
