I found this in a box of bits inherited from my father-in-law. It fits a bottle cage mount, but is
too small for a bottle - measures 5cm across the metal bracket. My best guess is that it's
designed to carry a tubular

tire,

or maybe a folding clincher - can anyone identify it?

It's a bottle cage for an "aero" water bottle, circa 1985. They were available from Campy and
Shimano and a few other manufacturers. I'd *guess* that you have one made by Miche. Useless unless
you have the bottle that fits it.

It's a bottle cage for an Aero Bottle. Both Shimano and Campagnolo, inter alia, made these in the
early 1980s.

Appreciate all the responses - now all I need to do is to locate a suitable bottle - or maybe not -
they sorta remind me of the receptacle you use in hospital when you can't get out of bed........

Thanks....
