    Anyone know a source of cheap waterbottles? I need another couple of bottles, ideally large capacity, before Friday pm and I resent paying £5(+) a pop for something which really should be a couple of quid :-/

    do they need to fit in bicycle bottle racks I take it? 750ml?

    Dare I say it, Tesco? If it's just a bottle to hold water they have a line of basic, cheaply priced cycling stuff in their bigger stores (Corstorphine and Hermiston Gait for sure). I'm sure they can't **** mess up a water bottle!

    If you don't mind the word "Cube" on it, how about £4 each at TBC?

    I tend to get whatever sports water is cheap at the supermarket (highland spring for example) use it a couple of times and recycle. Every time ive bought a bidon ive lost it.

    Bidons?

    You mean Bottle don't you?

    Silly spell checker ;-)

    As a guideline your expected retail price is more like the trade price... the plastic/printing/coloured tops etc all add up it seems.

    Asda had 700 ml sis bottles for 30 quid and Tesco do a value one for about a pound, I've only used them for battery holders.

    "Asda had 700 ml sis bottles for 30 quid"

    I did mention they were full of printer ink...

    Android trying to be clever, should be 3 quid.
