Greg, Yeah, I like the painted and decaled pump very much. We did them all the time when I was the builder at Medici and Simocycles. I think Brian maybe right, I don't remember anyone doing it before us but don't remember well enough to claim that we invented it. Yes I worked with both Confente and Brain. I was Brain's partner in Wizard cycles way back in 74-75. We knew each other before Masi started. We started a small racing club in OC called Coast Velo Club. We are still best of friends.
