Fresh Goods Sunday - Lightweight Reservetank Water Bottles - 500ml

I was after some more new water bottles for my road bikes and was also looking to update my bottle cage on my Cannondale Nano Black Ltd Edt at the same time. So after buying the Lightweight road bars I noticed they also did a rather nice / expensive bottle cage.
When we were over in the Lakes we called in past Push Cycles, Ambleside and they had the cage and bottles on display. Bottles were a tenner each! now that is expensive for a plastic bottle but Sigma Sport also have them for a fiver and at the time of looking an extra 10% off with free postage. I know everyone has to make a profit but to mark them up to over 100+% more is just too steep in my eyes.
Also with Sigma you get one free bottle with the cage (more on that in Part 2 next Sunday). Back to the bottles they are made by Tacx with the lightweight logo. They have a nice feel / shape to them with a wide mouth as well. They come in black or white and also a 600ml version for £6. I have tried them in a few different cages and the bottle holds well. The only downside with all non clear bottles its hard to judge just how much juice you have left.

Here is the manufacturers blurb on them -
Produced in conjunction with the bottle wizards at Tacx in Holland, the Lightweight Reservetank Bottle 500ml is the perfect easy-to-use bottle for quick and easy drinking and refilling.
The simple screw top design means the bottle can be cleaned and refiled in an instant and the large mouth piece design allows you to drink quickly and cleanly during exercise.
Available in either a black or white colour scheme, the elegant design looks great in any bottle cage or jersey pocket.
