[ORRando] Question about Barlow Trail 300k

[Susan Otcenas]

Actually, this is a good idea, and reminds me that I have a 2 bottle
bike mount for my seatpost that's tucked away in a box somewhere.  I'll
have to go find it.  Not entirely sure it's compatible with my trunk,
though, which is also a seatpost mount.  Must investigate....

You could use saddle rail bottle mount brackets.  Here is one example:

The brackets I have have slots for saddlebag straps, and they hold the
bottles far enough apart for my seatpost taillight to shine through  
between the bottles.  Sorry, there's no brand name stamped on them.   
It's a good idea to strap the bottles into the cages, IME.

I hate Camelbaks too.
