So a marketing email lands in my mail box from Fawkes cycles proclaiming that they have some "Mouthwatering discounts on hydration gear" and I casually click on the link to go to their site.
I am presented with this:http://www.fawkes-cycles.co.uk/2490...tm_content=newsletter&utm_campaign=newsletter
Over £60 for a plastic bottle and cage - what planet are these people from??
What benefit could you possible get from having a water bottle that expensive over one that costs a fraction of the price? - Dont talk to me about "weight savings", for goodness sake, just put an eggcup full less water in a cheap one and it will weigh the same.
Or am I just a skinflint old dinosaur? after all I still cant get my head round the whole concept of why people pay perfectly good money for bottled water when I get it for free out of my kitchen tap!
