tire pump for frame pegs

My recently-acquired 1960 Capo has pump pegs brazed onto the downtube, as do most other early 1960s Capos I have seen. (This is also the standard pump peg spacing of old English 3-speeds.) It can be hard to find an OEM-style tubular pump in this length, and the ones which are available tend not to work particularly well. Fortunately, the size M Mount Zefal pump will compress to fit these pegs, so one solution is to ride with a Mount Zefal, but to show the bike with an old-fashioned aluminum or steel tube pump.
