BTW, be mindful of Zefal pumps like the one pictured in post # 4. The aft end against the seat tube can do this to the finish:

That's just below the top tube, some PO must've had a frame-fit pump with a steel or hard plastic end like the Zefals have. The Campag head for the Silcas has rubber coating on the tips that wrap around the frame tube. They can also be sized to fit vertically against the seat tube, with the head nestled down on the BB shell and the concave top snapped under the top tube, with no braze-on needed. For a pump like the Zefal, a wee piece of retired innertube rubber might do the trick to avoid the damage shown above.

Mad Honk - 04/01/2020 is coming up; someone should take the "TELEPHONE" sign out of that alcove and put one up in its place reading "TELEPORT". Would be esp. appropriate in a Cyclotron building.....
