So, you want an accurate hand-held tire pressure gauge for those high pressure tires on your classic bike, but don't want to chance the wrong mojo that might be conjured up by using some digital read-out thingy? Afraid of the repercussions for discussing or, gasp, possibly even buying a non-period-correct gauge? Geeze, how would that even look when you are prepping your classic ride at the Cirque? Well, here's the real deal. I have a very limited supply (10 actually) of vintage Silca tire pressure gauges. I can envision a pro race mechanic in 1973 with one of these hanging around his neck, having just checked that the tire pressure on Gimondi's bike was just right! These are new old stock, made in Italy by Silca and the lanyards are either red or blue. They are for Presta valves and the gauge indicates to 16bar/240psi (but I make no claim of accuracy). They each come in a small unmarked cardboard box. The price is $35 each plus $6 shipping. Sorry, no choice on lanyard color (because I didn't count how many of which). PayPal accepted, but only after I confirm your purchase. First come, first served, but Emanuel Lowi gets first right of refusal on one of them. They can be seen at the following link and in the next pic:
