Thanks Jim This is the sort of advice I was looking for. Pump! How could I have forgotten a pump.
What bike did you get? If you've got one with road tyres, you'll need a pump which will work up to quite a high pressure as tyres seem to have got somewhat smaller in the last 20 years, but some pumps haven't.
And what did you do with the Carlton Corsair?
