Sweet sweet Bottles / Bidons

I use a Klean Kanteen sport

This

Thanks all.
Klean Kanteen don't seem to do a sport model, maybe the classic would work?
@Dexter Coloral would certainly gain the most hipster points, I like the look of it too.
Lbs reckon they're getting some Elite ones in, so I'll have a look before purchasing the inevitable hipster choice.

The cap is called the sport cap.

Ah, gotcha.
Tak.

Selv tak

Doesn't fit in a normal bottle cage though does it? or does it?

It does in mine.
I am certain it also fits a King Iris

Bdhu every pic posted on the forum, custom machined everything, hand painted frames and you're wedging your bottle into a cage like that?

CK iris or VO moderniste they fit nicely without scraping the bottle up.

Hah! Man's gotta live

Think I'm gonna go with Elite or Coloral, want insulated so I can have water in one and a hot tasty beverage in the other.

want insulated

Kleen Kanteen do an insulated bottle that fits in a bottle cage. I have one, love it.

This picture confused me a bit... A frame bag under the downtube... Then I saw the extra tube

Erm, not sure about klean Kanteen, I'd prefer a bottle that actually sits in the cage, like wot a plastic one does. Just me being a fussy bugger.

King make a cage without the end flick up, fresh tripe have them

I already have King cages, I'd rather just buy bottles that fit them, rather than bottles and cages.

CK iris

King Cage is Ron Andrews, not Chris King.

Ron for a while was a machinist based in Somerville Ma, his brother work for Fat City and he did some machine work for Merlin.

Do the Coloral bottles actually fit with the lip on the traditional cages?

Looks like it would get scratched up in no time 😬

Saw someone with one of these tonight (it was red). I was driving and they rode past as I was pulling out of a junction, it was really striking side-on.

A friend “made” his own, simply puts a rear LED light on flashing mode in a translucent water bottle.

Certainly worth considering if you commute at night

Hey, i'm selling a Monkii v cage, got too many, which allows you to fit any bottle/flask to your bike.

I can testify that they do the job well.

Apologies if i've missed it but do the Elite deboyo race insulated bottles fit nicely into regular cages?

They do , picked one up on Thursday, fits lovely in a standard King cage.
