I have one of these on all of my bikes. Strong, no rusting and handmade. Holds the bottle snugly and looks great with the stainless steel color.
Pros:
Lightweight and very durable. I put them on all of my bikes.
Cons:
Bottles do get marked up, though that could just be abrasion from dirty conditions.
These are now on a Ti & CF Serotta Otrott ... replacing the original Ti ones from 2005 that had finally failed. If you can tell the difference between these and the Ti iteration as I pass you by then you must have a PHD in metallurgy. I may have weighed the bike down by a couple grams but so what? I weighed my wallet down with a ton of dollars saved. Im thrilled.
I haven't even considered another cage since getting my 1st King Cage. They hold the bottles secure without marring them and they're reasonably priced.
Classic look
Fantastic, durable, and beautiful cages. I put them on all the steel frames I braze. Not the lightest ever, but economical and the cleanest looks that don't distract.
I love these and will always have these on my bike but I can only justify the cost when they are on sale. They look great and don't marr up my bottles.
Very Nice. These look sharp on my bike. Made in USA.
these water bottle cages are both functional and aesthetic
Everyone needs a bottle cage and this is the last one you should ever have to buy. Hollow tube construction is surprisingly light, extremely durable and attractive too.
Simple and sustainable compared to plastics and carbon fiber

I have this cage on every bike I own. Mountain and road. It holds your bottles secure, they are respectively light and look great.
Love the classic design. A durable, light weight bottle cage with exceptional bottle retention at a fantastic value. I have two on my 90's Trek road bike and they look superb.
Haven't even bothered to consider another cage since my 1st King. Holds the bottle secure and doesn't mar it. Wonderful, no frills cage.
I was tired of aluminum cages leaving my water bottles looking like they were ready for the trash heap. These nice stainless-steel cages don't leave marks, they hold the bottles well and are nice and light. A bonus is that they are made in the US. Sure, they cost more than cheap aluminum cages, but their quality is worth the extra price.
Nice looking and actually holds bottles.
I chose the King stainless steel water bottle cage for my vintage steel bike. It matched the look and provides the functionality that King products are famous for.
The cage does everything a water bottle cage needs to do - holds the bottle well, is strong, and is very well made.
Bottle cages are simple things but when they don't work well or break, it's a problem. The King stainless steel cage should serve me well for many years.
Light, stiff, strong, and classic look all in one. Good affordable option to Ti cages. Stainless steel tubes don't markup bottles like cheap alum cages, and they doesn't bend (creep) when riding bumpy roads with big heavy bottles, so your bottles stay secure. I've never had any problems with King cages, and I have many. Also, aero studies show may show benefits of aero bottle designs, but I'll bet this classic thin-tube design is more aero than an aero cage when the bottle is not installed, which is frequently the case for me since I often carry only one bottle when riding hard.
