Teddy what went wrong when you tried to repair it, of course these bikes can be a bit demanding they need more attention and care than a modern bike, people need to make sure they know this before they buy one and have good mechanical skills. One option you could have taken was buy RE pump off the web and fit it your self would have saved a lot, it’s one of those things working on these bikes is part o the package some people see it as a hobbie.
