Silca Impero

[Dirtyhanz2]

Came across this on ebay I thought I like the look of it does any one know much about them done a general search can not find much out about them
I paid £25 for it said it was NOS
I like it it's a bit bling
Its definitely not one for the carbon fiber lot

I have a Silca track pump. That's very bling (your pump that is).

Very nice and £25 is a good price for what is a sought after pump.

I have a well used one and it looks great on the bike bit I still carry a mini pump. Two reasons, first it is a bit worn, not a problem with yours, and second, I prefer a flexihose connection to the valve a small I am hamfisted and don’t want to rip a valve out. Last thing, they tend to wear the paint at the bottom of the seat tube/down tube, a bit of helicopter tape may be a good idea.

Used them back in the 70's, didn't need a pump peg
