Well, the problem Trek now belongs to a new owner, new owner has a relative who works at a bike shop, problem solved.

And apparently I have a minor problem with bicycle tire pumps. When I see a decent pump for a good price at a thrift shop or rummage sale I often end up buying it once I verify that it works. Oh well, there are worse things in life. Current plan is to combine a few of them to fix marginal components and swap some handles and bases. Then this summer I’ll probably have a local pump sale. I might make enough money to buy a decent bike mounted mini-pump.

rambling and riding and meandering in my mind.
