I have 60s / 70s AFA, AdHoc, and Tornado and some older zefals that are mounted on varios French bicycles of mine when they're in display mode. When I go riding though, I'll switch to my recent year frame fitting Zefal or Silca as the others are worthless when it comes to modern day high pressure tires that I ride as I'm skittish of riding with 30-40 year old tires, regardless of how NOS they may be.

Type in French pumps in eBay and most of the above will pop up ... though for a price that rivals the cost of the bicycle that they would be mounted to.

This post may be better serviced in the general forums rather than the bike gallery?

Here's an original pump on my 1971 Tour de France. It's a ZEFAL Competition.





Note, even though listed in the specs, not all of these bikes shipped with pumps - availability problems???

Also, sometimes shops didn't install the pumps and maybe sold them separate.

Those French pumps weren't all that great.

Anyone who was serious about a pump, spent the extra money and bought a Silca pump.

Still have the pump, but I don't use it anymore... haven't taken off the bracket, though...
