I've found that the 18 oz. Klean Kanteen SS bottle works well with a traditional water bottle cage (I've got older T.A. cages on both of my bikes). I'm not sure if the 27 oz. model would work as well. Klean Kanteen makes a bottle cage specifically for their 27 oz. bottle - http://www.kleankanteen.com/products/accessories/klean-kanteen-cages.php -, but I can't vouch for them myself (they're definitely not traditional in appearance and I think they're ugly).
I've been able to get an insulated "koozie" from a local friend that fits the 18 oz. bottle perfectly, it's nice to be able to carry a water bottle with cool water in the desert! L.L. Bean also sells a Cozy for the "Bean Canteen" bottles that they sell (the cozy is available in sizes to fit both the 18 oz. and 27 oz. bottle).
