I'm at a loss for ideas here.  I've been trying to figure out what product would allow me to mount a water bottle behind my seat Leito style.  I've tried the Minoura and I was told the new Xlab would not work.  I have a Cervelo P4 and I don't want to cut the seat post to make it fit, but the since my seat is mounted in the forward slot on the post the rails are too far forward and the post gets in the way.  Right now I've resorted to the Xlab sonic wing specific for Cervelo and just took one cage off.  I'm sure, maybe I'm wrong, it would be more aero if I could mount something more tucked under the center of the seat versus it being off center and further back?  Anyone have any ideas?

Nothing new since we talked about it... can you post a big picture from the side and the back, then I can see what I can come up with.

I have a '09 P2 and it seems to present the same issues---I have always had the double behind the seat for training purposes and take it off to race but I'd like to have a single CENTERED cage tucked in right behind the seat--but with the seat in the the front hole it sure makes the post a pain to mount something.....

these are the only pictures I have on me at the moment.  If these don't work I can take some at home.

If you can take the X Lab off and take some, it's blocking my view. :P

Straight back with a little upward angle from under the saddle and one straight profile.

-also, hi res.

Just a question, why don't you go with a cage between the aero-bars? According to the results Cervelo had posted, having a properly positioned bottle between the aero-bars actually reduces the drag.

And you use the frame one for the spare kit, etc.?
