01 The Hardware

Four cages, one bolt pattern, no plastic.

Everything Widefoot makes starts as raw stock and leaves as a finished part. No injection moulding, no overseas contract factory — just tube, rod and sheet worked into shape in Colorado.

03 The Mount

Three bolts. Infinite positions.

The slot pattern is the patented part. Instead of fixed holes, the CargoMount rides on slots — so it slides to clear a bottle, a bag or a fork blade instead of forcing you to live with where the frame's bosses happen to be.

04 Specifications

The numbers, before you ask.

Real figures from the workshop — materials, weights, fitment and mounting, so a bike shop can spec a build without emailing first.

Finishes on the LiterCage: polished, black, mint, purple and orange, plus factory seconds. CargoMount comes in black, silver, purple and orange, in Regular and Mega.

05 How It's Made

Cut, bent, brazed, TIG welded.

Utilitarian design, high-quality materials, and construction methods that allow gear to last for generations.

06 Our Story

"Why isn't there a Nalgene-sized bottle cage?"

Two friends, Hunter and Marc, asked that question four months into their first jobs out of school. Ten years later the answer is a workshop in Fort Collins that the employees own.

1. 2014

   The question

   Hunter and Marc start 3D modelling the LiterCage. The name blends "widemouth" — for the litre Nalgene — with Bigfoot, and the yeti in the logo comes from the Yeti Fabrications tag they used on teenage builds.

2. 2015

   First LiterCage

   An oversized stainless cage, MIG welded from solid steel rod in a spare storage room with no running water. Every unit hand-finished.

3. 2019

   CargoMount

   The low-profile aluminium cargo cage arrives. Through all of this the company is still a side project run on evenings and weekends.

4. 2020

   Full time

   Hunter goes full time mid-year. In December, Zachary becomes the first full-time hire.

5. 2021

   Fort Collins

   The original shop is sold to a neighbouring hospital, and Widefoot moves to the Colorado town that had stuck with them since a college backpacking trip.

6. 2022

   Employee-owned

   Custom in-house manufacturing fixtures come online and the LiterCage is updated. Jace joins as a co-owner and the company becomes employee-owned.
