The paint is so pristine I dont want to put a bottle cage on the frame. Maybe a handlebar cage.

Speaking of water though. Back in the day, water was available everywhere. Gas stations, even if I used their slop sink in the service area, always had water available. Most had drinking fountains. Any park or forest preserve would have a fountain or a hand pump to bring up water. So one water bottle was all you needed. A refill was always close by. And for the most part I was probably dehydrated when I was racking up miles in my youth. I can remember waking up in the middle of the night craving water. Doing 50-80 miles every day, and not really paying attention to water intake.
