I just stepped out of my comfort zone this time for some retro goodness. I bought my LOOK bottles from a non-specialized but giant (one of specialized's enemies) dealer however.
It is completely devoid of any specialized regalia besides the mold imprint on the bottom and of course being a purist bottle in essence.
Anyhow as for a bottle without a podium's valve, I just leave the nooze open/ un-recessed for the entire ride.
