As a cyclist I do not recommend that the Alu bottles are used for holding drink. Alu can dissolve into the water and this has been speculated to be linked with degenarative brain diseases.
MSR make an expensive red Alu bottle marked up as a fuel bottle for stoves. It is exactly the same sort of bottle, except for the closed end being moulded, not welded on. This is so you can pump the bottle up to pressure to run the stove.
Sigg do a similar one that costs about £12. Again all safely COSHH marked. Have a look at
these.
