I bet if that was offered in Celeste, they would sell. 
Mine, my wife bought me the black plastic version 
but, honestly, it works very well.

I encourage everybody to get the oldschool Sugino BB tools, their hook spanner is the best in the business IMO.
It has a "spring loaded" quality to it that wraps and grabs the lockring and has never slipped off on me.
Never broken their pins either.
Not cheap nowadays but well worth the $$$$$.

I wonder if it was "one of us" who all-but stole this one a coupla weeks ago: https://www.ebay.com/itm/285499066875 . I watched it, got an offer, foolishly hesitated, and....
That being said, I did buy a backup set a few years ago and have never needed or used it, my original 50 year old set still works as it always has, just fine.
I will also add that I have a 4ft. cheater that is employed when needed and makes short work of any uncooperative "fixed" cup that is always removed for proper service,
period.

Posted this somewhere the other day but didn't remember the brand so here it is.
There are hundreds of these and this is one of the earlier ones that really goes the distance.
I fought with a leaking car tire for a couple hundred miles and an extra day in Ashland before replacing the tire on the way to Eroica.
Had to inflate it 20-30 times in the process, never faltered and is no worse for wear that I can tell, had it for 2 years now.

Christmas/Birthday SS reboot for my son, hopefully gets him back on the road after not riding much for at least a couple years or more.

Sorry, I meant that, as your post #29 showed what appears to be an electric pump, that an electric pump that looks like a Silca would be a great C&V accessory. I would certainly be interested. And, as I have five bikes the exact same color, the color matching thing might be worthwhile as I could move it from bike to bike. Alas, if $400, I doubt my wife would buy it for me as a X-mas gift!

May I suggest searching for Campagnolo in Fine Art America’s site. Some nice and interesting items available there.

I'm sure somebody could make a framefit version but would think it might not be robust enough to do a good job, the folks who made the "helper" motors that went into the ST/BB's could probably make it work if they wanted too.

For anyone riding 6207? I just ordered a pair to stuff in my stocking. They’ll go on my 85 IM that I put under the tree two seasons ago.

For those who like the Flanders classics: a gift set wit a nice bottle & cage, a cap and just enough gin to fill the "water" bottle:
