The mount may be a bit too high on the downtube to fit a bottle.<br /><br />Jon-I was really happy with the LHT. I'd like to get as close to that setup as possible.

I'm loving the Takara, and can't help but notice how it's beginning to mirror your old LHT.<br /><br />Now, get a two-legged kickstand for it, and you'll have it done!Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15989502925369231042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5635932258743482905.post-91260081819403133302009-12-05T18:14:24.115-06:002009-12-05T18:14:24.115-06:00It would also make a good place to mount a water b...It would also make a good place to mount a water bottle holder...Steve Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650405341304401203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5635932258743482905.post-21393385810710398252009-12-05T16:44:45.504-06:002009-12-05T16:44:45.504-06:00Nicely done, as usual.
