Some heresy here:
I've been known to use small stainless worm-gear "radiator clamps" instead of groddy TA mounts. Rationalization, part 1: It's what TA would have used if they had thought about it. :-) Part 2: Better to ride with the neat bottle carrier than w/o.
Small consolations, I guess, and good luck.
harvey sachs mcLean va ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hello List: My recently acquired 1971 Paramount came with a couple of TA handlebar mounted waterbottle cages. Unfortunately, no clamps were included. Do any of you fine ladies and gentlemen know of a source for these clamps? Any leads would be appreciated. Thanks, Matthew Bowne Brooklyn, New York
