Went thru my pump “collection” today. I have never really looked at them before. They have just been there. They have come to me with bikes thru the years. Personally I have always liked Silca Impero and I want them in chrome. I have used and abused a lot of these during the years. I still have three or four chrome Silcas as users.



This Silca came with my 1978 Masi Prestige and has the same colour as the bike. It is also Masi branded. This one strikes me as a little odd as it is a Silca but made for a Campagnolo pump head 1030/1. Note (picture above) – there is no sleeve in the pump head end. I thought all Silca: s used the square attachment – with a sleeve.





A couple of Bianchi branded and celeste coloured Silca has come my way – for which I am very thankful. Both with dark sleeves and Silca plastic heads for fitting in the frame.





Here are a couple of really old Silca: s. They are of the kind that needs a brazed or band on pump peg.




Campagnolo 1030/2 on both.



Different versions - how they look at the handle end.
