I can't spare a pump for you, but have a question. If you glue the threaded end into the barrel, how will you oil the leather piston when it dries out? Or, will the pump be for show and not for use? Thanks. Kevin Montgomery sporting a well-oiled piston in San Diego, California USA

Does anyone  have any  long frame fit pumps with the cylinder length of over 17.5"  in good condition. I cut down my last long pump for my 7-11 Merckx yesterday and it is 1/8" too long.....dumb. didn't cut the last extra off i had allowed for the saw cut  before I glued on the pump threaded end. looking for a pump over 23"  not a happy camper.... any color will do. contact me off list if you have an extra you want to
sell.
Thanks
