No, haven't seen it before. Looks cool, although i wonder if it poses an issue when you are closing the door with a drink attached to it.

I've got another idea I used the other day. I had a spare pair of tennis shoes in the car. Guess what? A cup or can fits snuggly in the shoe pretty well! The shoe is heavy enough to keep it the cup from tipping over unless you're taking a corner very hard. cost = $0

items:
1) http://www.topeak.com/products/Bottle-Cages/ModulaCage
2) 2x wingnuts
3) 2x M5x12 bolts
4) L bracket
5) 30mins

Quick and easy.
Total cost ~ US$15

Adjustable and Fits my bottle of mineral water or my Sigg bottle. Too lazy to paint the bracket black, maybe next week.

Now that is simply brialliant! Simple, cheap, and visually unobtrusive ...kudos!!

That other one that clips to the door pocket is a nice idea, but $40 is robbery ...talk about capitalizing on a "Porsche" market, ugh!!

Black Nike, synthethic fiber is best. I hate those non-stock looking Addidas.

Can you get these shaped to accommodate fries? That would also be nice while biking...

Shouldn't you all be discussing a German shoe? And not even a single mention of size fitment!! Sheesh ...can't believe how this board has gone downhill!!!

Wow, totally forgotten about doing something like this. Customer of mine (yes, a cyclist) did similar years ago. Difference was he mounted it to the center console, passenger footwell side, on an SC.

Love it! The best part is the ability to customize it. Sooo many water bottle holders to choose from. And the bracket - easily available at any hardware store. So simple, yet so creative. Well done!
