Subject: [CR] Masi question!


Here is wishing everyone at Le Cirque some good riding weather, and a wonderful time!

Ive seen several Masi's, Cinelli's, and Colnagos with matching pumps in the same color, and with the same decal set up as the seat tube.

Heres one on ebay - 320376718384

Anyone know when this trend started? My 71 Masi came with a Silca pump in the same color as the frame, with a simple yellow "Masi" engraved on it, but no decals or additional trim. Im guessing none of the manufacturers supplied these decal decorated pumps. Anyone know? I don't remember ever seeing this in the 70s. It adds some bling, but sometimes looks over the top!

What do other listers think!?

Thanks!
