I lived in Holland in 1982, and there was this shop in Valkenswaard that supported the local really serious races. The hot setup in bottle cages there was Jim Blackburn! I got a kick out of my lowly Univega Gran Turismo having the same bottle cage as the Gazelle time trial bike that had a 753 frame, OR7 rims, titanium Super Record bits and single chainring.
Those Blackburns bent easily, but I don't think the time trialists were stuffing wine bottles and baguette into theirs...
