carolcag on eBay has about 50 silcas of various sizes and colors (including chrome). Silca is the best frame pump even today, imho. they don't rattle like the newer golly gee whiz ones.

I second the Silca recommendation. One suggestion I would make if you're planning on mounting it beneath the top tube is to make sure you keep it waxed. Sweat does a number on the chrome finish.
Also, try to find a Campagnolo head for it. Much higher quality than the stock plastic head.
