Both my Copper Reynolds 753 bike and the new Strong have more reach than I like to the DT bottle while moving, and I use the bigger extended top bottles. With any of my other bikes it is not an issue.

I did not ask Carl, but assume the compact/semi compact frame has them lower by design. Although moving with adapter there is still a lot of space with even the bigger bottle. What the reason on the 753 Frueler frame was I dunno.

Any, the Dura Ace Di2 adapter to make room for the battery is a good solution. So if anyone else has the need, there is a reasonable solution, that isn't Delta made.

I got then on sale at Chain Reaction Cycles for $10.99 ea. Good solid and up to about 1-1/2" sliding adjustment.

EDIT: the old Strong is actually down more than the new one. But perhaps the lower bars plays into it and riding position etc. The new Monster CX bar are higher for off road and winter use, intended. But the Copper bike, still way low compared to other bike with lower road bar positions, observational..
