They do seem to multiply….I purchased the blue one back in the late 70s when I was sixteen and it has faithfully served as my main pump for that entire time. It amazes me how often it was borrowed at races, etc. over the years to pinch hit for the pumps of others that had failed. These pumps are the embodiment of what a reliable tool should be. The orange pump and yellow pump were gifts from cycling friends who were veteran riders when we met and subsequently aged out of the sport. I recently changed the leather plunger as well as the chuck gasket on the yellow pump which should hold it for another ten years.





I keep a stock of small parts….
