Campy Pump head

Anyone still using these? Just found this going through some of my parts and it made me wonder.

Yup. Still using mine. Had to scavenge one off eBay to get rid of the crappy stock Silca one.

Daily pump, Silca Impero, with a Campagnolo head, on my Merckx.

I tried for a while but with the size of my frame it never really fit very snuggly.

I still use mine daily with my Silca Impero from the 80s. I switch the pump among my two regular bikes.

Sure. Use mine every day.
Unfortunately the blue feet crumbled on mine.
I can't recall seeing white ones, but they seem to have held up better.

^You can often find these rubber caps at hardware stores sold as screw thread protectors. Colors may be limited.

If anyone needs a new washer (at least I think that is what I have--we did an "ID this part" thread and I was told that's what it was)--PM me and I can drop one in the mail... I have a few that came in a random box of parts.

Here's the thread--and Old Potato provided the catalog page.... http://forums.thepaceline.net/showthread.php?t=144810

I'm interested. What are you looking to get for it?

Wait...that was supposed to be a PM. I'm an idiot. PM me.
