TA chrome plated steel cages sold by Rivendell. The best looking cage
clamps are the stainless steel ones made by Minoura.
http://www.bikemannetwork.com/biking/p/ACH2OSYS/WC3000. These are easily
found in bike shops, or ordered from QBP. You may want to pad the
bottom of the cage and the undersides of the clamps with electrical tape
or innertube strips before your tighten things down onto your authentic
and brittle frame paint. As Grant points out, the steel may be a
little rough in places and the chrome a little thin and after a few
years riding in the rain there will be rust spots, but these things are
easily cleaned up or just spring for some new cages.
If tube real estate is scarce because you're also carrying a Silca
Impero pump or you want to keep your awesome seat tube panels clear,
then try the Minoura handlebar clamp with the TA cage.

works great, and it's a darn handy place to carry a waterbottle.
Now where do I find classic waterbottles?
