Does anyone know where to get the old Specialized water bottles with the Flip-Top and small opening. Now their line is all the Pop-Up kind and I find they are harder to use without having them leak when drinking, even if I've pulled it out all the way with my teeth. I've Googled and can't find 'em anywhere. I am sure I got my last pair from Specialized in '04 but they no longer have them on the website. Not a life or death issue, but I really prefer the Flip-Top. Does not have to be Specialized, I've just used theirs and like them. Thanks in advacnce for any leads.
Can't remember for sure, but I think I may have seen them in the Rivendell catalog last time (www.rivbike.com). I hate the ones with unscrewable tops because when I take the tops off and let the things sit around to dry, I lose the tops.

What I meant was the Flip-Top that covers the squirt opening or nozzle, not the pull-up one Specialized now makes. I've seen the Classic ones on both Performance and Specialized, but the Classic used to be the old variety with the small opening that flipped open and a flip top on the nozzle as well. Now it is the pull up button which I don't care for. Ten years ago, they were all flip caps on the nozzle, now I can't find 'em anywhere.
