Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

BTW- replacement pistons are available, and don't have to be Silca specific. All that matters is that they're for the same ID cylinder. OMAS, and SKS both made (still make?) pumps that use the same piston, so finding a new one at low cost shouldn't be an issue.
