The Aux Bottle Cage is the answer to your “why can’t I fit a bottle cage on my bike?!” prayers. Strap it anywhere you like, at any height or, use the bosses to mount as you would a regular bottle cage.
The Aux straps a side-loading bottle cage to any part of your frame or fork, the lightweight kit contains two straps and a carbon fibre reinforced thermoplastics cage with a stealthy matte finish.
The Aux Strap Kit uses silicone-coated hook-and-loop straps (that's Velcro to you and me) and grippy rubber pads for a rock-solid fit that, they say won’t leave your bottle on the trails.
The AUX Bottle Cage and Strap Kit is available for $27.99USD and the cage is available separately for $20.99USD. We found the cage on Amazon with an additional $9.86 shipping charge bring the whole lot to about £27.47. Or ask your local bike shop, Granite Design kit is distributed by Windwave in the UK, the price for the cage or the kit is £19.95 and £26.95 respectively.

SKS anywhere mount is another alternative.
Alternatively, normal bottle cage, bit of old inner tube to protect paint, increase friction and provide a bit of shock absorbency, and 3 zip ties and you're done for about a fiver.
I'd be interested in others' thoughts on the best solution of this kind. I have a converted Bob Jackson track bike that I ride as a fixed town bike. No bottle cage bosses, but sometimes on longer rides it would be handy to be able to take a bottle with me.
