I have a Joe Blow(x2) and about a dozen bikes that are ridden on a rotation basis. I pump the tires on at least one of my bikes every week. I have the yellow one , I think it is the Sport . I wait until REI has their 20% off sale and pay only around 35 bucks for them(I have two as I ride from two locations) . Both pumps are great and work very well . I bought the first one about 5-6 years ago and the other one a year later 'cause I liked it. If I get another 2 years out of them I will probably buy another. The only complaint is the gage is down towards the bottom of the pump and my 65 year old eye balls can't see it, so I use the little limiter thingy for a mark. If I happened onto an old Silca I would get it if it were reasonable as I too have heard great things about them. They have to be better than their frame pumps! At my shop I have a really nice , large commercial style air compressor at my shop where most of my bikes are, but I choose to use the floor pump.
