VO Retro Cage, with tab

VO Retro Cage with Tab is a beautifully crafted vintage-style bicycle bottle cage inspired by classic French designs from the 1940s and 1950s. Known for its timeless aesthetic and functional simplicity, this cage is widely regarded as one of the most elegant bottle cage designs ever made.

Hand-built from a single length of 3mm stainless steel rod, the Retro Cage offers both durability and flexibility. Its spring-like structure securely holds bottles in place while allowing slight adjustment to fit different bottle sizes. Riders can gently spread the cage for oversized bottles or compress it for a tighter fit, making it highly adaptable for modern cycling needs.

This Type II version includes an additional retention tab at the back, designed to securely hold smaller 18oz metal bottles as well as standard plastic bottles. This added support ensures better stability during rough rides while maintaining the classic open-frame design.

Finished with electro-polishing, the cage has a smooth, corrosion-resistant surface that enhances both durability and appearance. It is a perfect blend of vintage design and modern practicality for riders who value style and function.
