    ROTFLMAO

    Haha! I shoulda known! You gotsta have a sleek bottle for a bike like that!

    I guess if you train with a round bottle then race with the sleek one it's like those athletes that train at high altitude then do a race near sea level and feel like they're turbocharged by the increased air density.

    Hey if you want to feel REALLY fast on race day, duct tape some bricks to that carbon fiber frame when you're training. Or just borrow my bike. I'm still riding the same bike I rode in 1979 - a 25.5 pound Motobecane Grand Touring complete with wide flange hubs and center pull brakes. I get a workout just taking it off the rack...

    A friend of mine used to fill waster bottles with gravel and water for his hill climb training! And those center pull brakes are actually more aero than todays side pull brakes...the cable lines up with the head tube instead of sticking out in the wind!
