[Quote="muddytreker"]How do you normally carry your bottles ?
Buy a bottle holder and paint it orange ?[/Quo]
sorry misleading title...orange alpine 6, theres no threaded holes for a water bottle cage to fit to! I normally put them in my pockets which are deep for one pair of shorts i have.
Perhaps some carry bag that can hold your water container would be the most viable option, a water bladder would mould to a more flexible shape than a hard bottle.
Depending on your preference, there are various ways to carry on the body or carry on the bike, some suggestions and links to work with if it helps
Seatpost Mounted Bottle Carrier Possibly a frame bag that straps to the frame or seat post, Shoulder carry hydration pack, Maxpedition or similar hipbelt carry pack, Small rail rack that mounts to the seat post, saddle bag, compact light weight air flow ruck sack back pack, Trail runners body vest,
modify a bag with clips straps that could fix to your bars, Nylon straps, ITW Nexus military buckles and hardware are redily available online, grimlocks, ladder locks, D rings and cordage can make things better at adapting small carry bags to attach to your bike.
Adapt modify chest, waist carry vest, similar to helicopter crews with the mesh body vest and MOLLE loops.

My bad. Falls under the coincidence or timing Pal. If it's any consolation your answer was much better than my general one and sure it will be much more helpful to the OP and worthy of the effort you put into finding links etc.
