Went for a ride earlier and thought "Wouldn't it be nice to have a Pistonheads water bottle to go with the jersey that I am looking forward to?" Clear bottle with a simple smiley logo on it would be perfect for me and very simple. Black top and black smiley would probably appeal to the majority of people I would have thought.

Any thoughts? Good idea? Possible? I note that last time this was tried it didn't happen for some reason. I note that Specialised do custom bottles......http://specializedwaterbottles.com/build-your-own/ and there is loads of places that do this also.

Is that you volunteering to organise it?

Well in that case I'll take one.

Happily help the powers that be to organise if they are happy to give the go ahead.

Does this mean it's time for a list?

Now, IMO that would be easy for the powers that be to sort, and actually stock in the ph shop... Would appeal to any sports people too IMO!

We do simple single colour bottles for our club:



Whether it would be worthwhile Haymarket producing another branded, non-motoring product is debatable. Personally, I think it would not really be worthwhile. We only had a small order done for the club and still had a job shifting them all. The decision rests with Garlick though. Certainly no need for any more lists as yet smile

I think PH bottles would be rather nifty. I also suspect they'll sell more to 5 a side players, rubgy players, tennis bods etc etc than they will cyclists (bigger market) - but if 150 odd people want a lycra fetish top, presumably 250 people might want bottles (2 for some roadies, and the MTB crowd miht join in this time) - add the more popular sports and Garlick might be onto a winner (especially if they're cheap).

If it can't be done, just get a plain bottle in the colour of your choice. Add PH smilie sticker et voila, your very own PH bottle =)

Yes yes!

Just had a play with a little big mouth in prismatic blue with a white lid... a white PH logo positioned diagonally on the bottle would look great.

Does everyone have to have the same style/colour if an order were to happen?

IF it happened, you can safely say it will be a clear bottle with black text, maybe another colour depending on cost. This way they will go with all colour schemes rather than us all arguing over what colour bottle.

Please don't start any lists until we have worked out whether it is feasible. I'll find out who does ours and drop Garlick a line smile

Will it be a mountain bike bottle or a roadie bottle, i.e. £1.99 or £29.99?

Yeah that's fair enough. I just got a little over-excited on the specialized website wink

I thought the PH massive bought plastic bikes - like the pro's

Need aero rims - like the pro's

so i assumed (or presumed always get confused with that one ) you all threw your bidon away as its emptied - like the pro's

Im way too slow for all that lot

hehe

The Running Thread and Triathlon thread regulars would probably all be interested too.
