Jay-

I recall speaking to Richard Sachs about his early Masi GC's and discussing some of the braze-ons that came on those frames. This braze-on was already on my frame. Apparently, many of the Italian Masi frames of that vintage had that pump peg braze-on which is a very trick feature (maybe another member can add insights here).

Very cool to mount your standard head Silca pump on your frame without and additional hardware! Thanks,
