    I'm looking for some "old style" 16 ounce/1 liter water bottles. I
    don't need insulation, I don't need 25+ ounces, I don't need a spray
    unit designed by NASA, ... just a supply of straight sided 16oz
    plastic-ish bottles with the old style top that used to be so
    common. A cheap price would be nice, I like to keep a bunch in
    stock so I don't have to wash them everyday.

    All I can find now are newer phallically inspired oversize modern
    designs that are way too large for my old layout frame. Any
    pointers ?

    When I got back on my bike (almost two months ago now)
    I just tossed a 20-oz brand-name convenience store bottle
    of water in the cage (apropos of the recent "fred" thread,
    I was also wearing crew socks and clamping sneakers in
    my toe-clips).

    I refill it every day. The extra 20 feet of walking
    counts as warmup. I think I washed the nipple once a few
    weeks ago.

    It rattles a little, but that and the dry throat reminds me
    it's time for another swig.
