The disappearance of the 66mm water bottle

I have a rather nice carbon fibre bottle cage on my road bike, but the bottle has just split.

The cage takes a 66mm bottle and these seem to have disappeared from the market.

Can anyone tell me where I can find one? I've scoured the net to no avail.

Thanks.

Do you mean this type of bottle

Yes, that's it.

Can't get the 66mm bottle anywhere in the UK.

Your second link shows my carbon fibre holder reduced from $129.99 to $10!!!

No doubt that's because you can't get the bottles.

It's a bit more complicated than that...
A google search for "66mm bottle" suggests one or two leads...

If this were me I'd simply buy a new cage to fit the bottles that are easily available. But I know I'm seriously comfortably off and wouldn't notice the £14.99 or so I'd have to spend.

The current carbon fibre cage is rather nice and matches the bike, but it looks like it will have to go. Shame.
