Dear classicrendezvous devotees, Does anyone know the whereabouts (or history) of any of those thousands of white flat cap water bottles mounted proudly on down tube and handleb ars - just after the retirement of aluminum water bottles? (see photos). It think the period stretched from the mid to late 1950s and perhaps a bit into the early 60's.
Am ready to mock up this look with a modern white bottle and replace the spouted cap with a flat one that approximates. I have heard that the pl astic used then was quite brittle, which may account for their rarity - perhaps they simply crumbled into oblivion? Hope some still survived (an d some one has a couple they might spare/sell) Also looking for a pair (or two) of medium size Christophe toe clips fro m the same period (or other brand) (see pic with old Christophe logo). Cheers, Bill Ungar Torrance, CA USA
