FAQs
Is this bottle BPA-free?
Yes, despite the vintage design, the Elite Eroica is manufactured using modern BPA-free food-safe plastics.
Will this fit a modern carbon fiber bottle cage?
Yes, the 74 mm diameter is the industry standard for virtually all modern cycling bottle cages.
Can I put hot liquids in the bottle?
It is not recommended. The bottle is designed for water and sports drinks at ambient or cool temperatures.
Is the cap tethered to the bottle?
Yes, the cap features a tethered design to ensure you do not lose it while on a ride.
Does the bottle come in other sizes?
This specific model is designed for a 550ml capacity, true to the scale of 1970s cycling bottles.
Troubleshooting
The spout is difficult to pull up or push down.
Apply a tiny drop of food-grade lubricant to the spout stem or ensure there is no dried sports drink residue stuck in the seal.
Bottle leaks when squeezed.
Check that the main cap is screwed on evenly and that the silicone gasket inside the cap is seated correctly.
Water flow feels restricted.
Ensure the cap is not screwed on too tightly, as this can occasionally deform the internal air pressure flow if over-torqued.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the bottle features a standard 74 mm diameter, it fits snugly into any standard bottle cage. If you are using a chrome-plated steel vintage cage, the plastic material of the Eroica is soft enough to avoid scratching the finish. To care for your bottle, rinse it with warm water after every ride. While it is dishwasher safe, it is recommended to place it on the top rack away from heating elements to preserve the shape and longevity of the plastic. Always ensure the cap is tightened securely before starting your ride to prevent leaks.
