Lezyne makes a nice mini pump. I have their Alloy Drive High Volume pump. Before I started carrying Co2 on the road, I had a Blackburn Air Stick. That was good too.

If you got that service from an auto mechanic you'd be looking for a new mechanic. This Clown gets paid for every failure. Nice work if you can get it.

Tange Champion #2
EDIT: Brazed by Tsunoda. The bike has decals from both. Later on, Lotus (which was really just an American importer who had the bikes build under contract, I believe) had them build by Cinelli, in Italy, from Columbus steel. Apparently Champion #2 is equivalent to Columbus SP, so that's better for an old fat guy like me.

I have the Lezyne Road Drive, the Small one. Fits in a jersey pocket but will fill (eventually) a 28mm tire. I carry that one when riding the Canyon or the Bianchi. I have a Blackburn frame pump that fits the Battaglin and the Ritchey, and a Zefal that fits the Circuit, the Cannondale, and now Mrs. Peel.
Frame pumps are better than minipumps. Minipumps are better than making The Call Of Shame.

Another nod towards Lezyne. If not, still get one with a hose. The ones that directly engage pump head to valve stem are more likely to strain or even tear the tube at the valve.

Not from me it isn't. I felt so bad for whom ever it was living there. Jesus. This realtor has 2 of these on the market right now, within 2 blocks of each other. Words fail.

I think this is the cleanest the drive chain has been since I bought the bike. Got it all back together, wheel is not bent so that’s good.
About a week ago I got it in my head the my C2 felt off. Something about the fit felt different, so I checked the things that made since. Handle bars were good, but I am not sure about my seat post. I can see the pencil mark, but it’s not in the middle of the circle, but I am also not sure it was ever in the middle of the circle. m If it did slip we are talking about a .5 of 1 mm so would I even notice that? I’ve ridden it a couple times since then, and once on the colonial parkway it hasn’t moved at all, and when I checked the torque of the clamp it is solid.
I am at the point where it might be in my head and I am trying to convince myself something is wrong when nothing is wrong, but now that the thought is there I can’t seem to shake it.
Don’t really expect to get any advice on this, just felt like sharing.

Suited up to go this morning, somehow failed to notice the road was soaking wet. Will try again later.
