Fresh Goods Sunday - Lightweight Edelhelfer Bottle Cage

Part 2 - Cage this time. Following on from last Sundays Fresh Goods I also ordered the bottle cage with bottle from Sigma Sport as part of the order with the additional water bottles. The cage rrp is an eye watering £70, Sigma chucks in a 500ml white bottle and I got an extra 10% off and free p&p.
The cage is just a piece of artwork in my eyes and is probably too good to fit and use it, but that's what its for.
The cage comes with two torx black bolts which are also very light. Fitting is simple and no hassle but go steady when nipping up the bolts so not to cause damage to the cage.
As you can see on the photos the claimed weight is 18g and my scales were hovering between 16-17g and 19g with the bolts.
Here is the manufacturers blurb on this beauty -
The perfect accompaniment to your Lightweight wheelset (in my dreams) or just a very nice finishing touch to your bike, the Lightweight Edelhefer bottle cage is a scant 18 grams in weight, made from high quality HM Carbon Fibre and is incredibly strong and stylish. With a Reservetank bottle, this is the perfect finishing touch to any bike.
With a high quality matte black finish the attention to detail is amazing. Using the famous Lightweight spoke design this cage securely holds the Reservetank or any other standard bottle. So beautiful in design it would even look pretty cool as a piece of art sitting on your mantelpiece!
