You can use a short strap to keep it from rattling or falling off on a humongous bump.
At one time, long, long ago in a bicycle galaxy far, far away, you could buy clamp-on doodads to hold a frame pump, if you didn't have a brazed-on peg: https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...fb41f42276.jpg But the need for these kinds of things has been superseded by |
It was probably completely my fault and easily preventable but, yeah, lost the pump. Think I had it less’n a week, too.

Maybe the old Campy pumps have the same mounting hole, but I've never owned one. |
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:
https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...ea9a1c44ba.jpg 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..... |

Hi guys, just to be clear, I hope I didn’t come off as snarky or mean or anything like that.
It was more an exclamation at/of/over their cuteness. Like when my niece found an old rotary dial phone at my parents’ beach house and couldn’t figure out how to use it lol |

I'm sure I've told this story before but it always a good one. I was making a delivery in one of our campus's older building just before renovation. It had housed one of the first cyclotrons in the country,so it clearly was due to be renovated. But while walking down the main hall off the building I heard a student exclaim "Wow, they have special booth marked telephone that I can go into and have a private conversation on my cell phone! As you can imagine any traces of a phone were not in the old cabinet. Smiles, MH

Got my old Trek road bike on the stand for a cleaning and to replace cables. Took a good look at this fitting on the back of the head tube while it was up and still can't figure out what it is/does. Anyone? Just curious. Thanks

Campagnolo never made a pump. But Silca, for which Campagnolo made a pump head for their "Impero" pump, made a frame-fit pump that would work with those fittings.
1. To install your pump holding fixture, first locate the black, gold, and green decal that says "531". This is where you will install the Campagnolo pump holding fixture. I had seen pictures of the Impero pump with Campagnolo head before, but I can't say that I had actually seen one live before. I recently bought an F. W. Evans that included a Silca pump with Campagnolo head and Campagnolo pump umbrella properly installed directly on the Reynolds decal, so now I own one. Included in the photo is one of the better hand-held calculators available in 1970. Back in the days before I became part of the permanent leisure class, I worked with a geologist from Brazil who claimed to have never seen such a thing. But, she was sort of mean to me and may have just been pulling my chain. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...483844c277.jpg |
