Ok so I have been building up a genesis latitude frame... Nearly there. I put an acepak bag on it today (thanks Stuart) and it covers the bottle bosses . So I think that's ok there's two on the underside of the down tube. I go to put a bottle cage on them but discover they are too far apart...140mm apart too be precise. So can anyone enlighten me as too what they are for... And is it possible to get a bottle cage with bolt spacings that far apart??

I've got them on my latitude (non high version) as well. Aren't they too far up the downtube so a bottle would catch on the front tyre?

Could something like this bring it down?

Something like that... Yes. Although I'm way too stingy to pay £24 for a bit of metal with holes in :) I'm cracking out the tin cans and gaffa tape!

These will hold a bottle securely.
