  • Excellent, so boss man says to fire ahead.

    I'm not sure if it would be best to keep it in this thread or start another one but there's no need to do a list just yet as I'm thinking the easiest way to handle all of this might be to use a crowdfunding platform and position the bidons as "donation prizes"... If anyone has a better suggestion do let me know and once the designs are in I'll make a thread for the bottles then.

    With regard to designing the bidons I won't be doing this myself. There is one criteria that must be maintained and that is that the bottle must use the official forum logo you see on the top left hand side of the page here as a tribute to Big Daddy Wayne who originally designed it.
    @Velocio is going to send me on a file with the logo and anyone who wants to have a go at designing the bottle can PM me and I'll pass it on to them.

    I'm open to suggestions on what bottle to use also. My initial reaction is to go with Tacx Shiva 500ml as the shipping won't be as painful as Specialized and I've been quite happy with the ones I've gotten from Band of Climbers, price has been favourable too.

    Obviously bidons will be 500ml and I reckon the newer Shiva Bio or O2 (if we go with Tacx) would be good as they're biodegradable/ made from sugarcane rather than good old fossil fuel plastics.

    So...

    Suggestions below please for:

    • Bottle brand/ model
    • System for sales/ taking payments

    • If someone wants to handle distributing the bottles in UK that would be great because I suspect if I were to ship them all from Ireland it could be nightmare since Brexit.
