I had no problem mounting the Walnut Studio's leather bike handle over the derailleur and below the bottle cage. Perfect fit. The only problem was that there wasn't enough space between bottle cages for a hand. That's why one bottle would have to go to make it work. Wasn't willing to give up a second bottle so the handle was returned. If the Hillborne came with a third, lower cage, I probably would have shed the seat tube cage and kept the handle. They are really nice and would have been handy getting in and out of SF BART stations. I even considered the two-fish bottle cage just to keep the handle. Started to feel a little Frankenstein to me so I didn't go there.
