    Stainless steel bottle, not Sigg :oops:

    I cut a mask for the Swiss flag and put two coats of primer, three top coats and two clear coat, so paint matches my bike not their flag :D

    Might have to make a cork for it, now where can I get some cork...

    Nice, tyre looks a bit flat, only at the bottom though.

    Have a Google for Tour de France retro bidons - I bought some metal bidons a couple of years ago - some retro T de F job with corks (I wanted them to carry red wine on).

    Will suit that down to a "T".

    Its very cool overall though.

    Thanks :D

    It is great fun to ride too, springy round section track forks and a 60mm stem makes the handling feel more 'positive' than carbon forks. First time on tubs too, feels like you're on rails :D
