Silca are retro legendary ...also about a 100.00 bucks here in Montreal not familiar with the Medai. Am I so off as to think a 50.00 dollar floor pump should last for at least two years as opposed to a few strokes? I'm just a home wrencher with a little past shop experience. I'm not pumping up 20 tires a day...heck I only have one running bike right now.
