" I saw this guy in a homeless camp today with an oxy-acetylene torch doing something odd to a stolen bike today. I asked him what he was doing and he said "Gugie you, piss off" ' I ran like hell

BTW, I voted "yes, absolutely, and I will buy one."
Heck, if they aren't too stupid expensive, I'd probably buy two. (Gotta have matching bottles, right?

So, if I were to invest $600 ($3 per, 200 min) and divide it with the 12 people who would buy 2 (24), everybody pays $25 per bottle and I break even.

well Gugie,
It looks like quality logo products is your best bet for 20 oz. bottles with a one color logo at a cost of close to $400 for 300 of the bottles. Now to find the one color logo to go on the bottle and we can get into yer wallet for merch. Smiles, MH

I'd cheerfully put up $50 in advance for however many bottles gugie thinks appropriate. I would like at least two, but everything is negotiable. Gugie, if you are really going to let yourself be talked into taking the laboring oar on this, I am not going to quibble about details.

Well, some artwork has already been done, and paid for with Gugifacazione. This was the head badge and decal; there's also a b/w version for the saddle stamps.
Guglielmana saddles are an option, of course.

Rudi's design has a sort of "Durer-esque" look to it. I was sort of hoping for "Guglielmania".

Well, mebbe it does... cuz I cannot deny that I'm a big Dürer fan.This design however has an unimpeachable Italian pedigree, being a copy of a design used for both Bartali and Benotto saddles.

I would be in if the bottle and graphics are fairly neutral in color so I could use them on multiple bikes.

On the logo, just one small thing…As a seat or T shirt logo, the layout is excellent. For a bottle, …....If you rotate it 90 degrees and change the text so it reads vertically, it will be more visible on a bottle even when it’s in the cage. Plus you can make it bigger and not lose any of the letters as the logo wraps around the bottle.

I'm totally in if I can also get this on a white t-shirt.
.
Coca-Cola could possibly sponsor this to offset any or all costs.
