That looks great. I'm hugely puzzled that a 95 top end frame has pump fittings. Were they a custom request I wonder?

I believe they were team/ team replica bikes so poss a custom race option.

It's sadly redundant as i have an odd like for useless micro pumps that don't work but do fit in a pocket. :lol:
