Hmmm. I thought a frame pump was a pump you carried on your bike, attached to the frame. What do I know?
I had one that gave me tendonitis trying to get my road wheels up to full pressure. I hated it. Then I tried a friend's HpX. What a difference! I put one on all my bikes. When I started hearing about the Topeaks I thought I'd better give them a try. I like them! I now have a Road Morph on both my road bikes. I tested the pressure gauge against my dial gauge, and it was accurate enough that I can leave the dial gauge at home, saving an ounce or two. I like that the handle goes transverse to the shaft. I like that there's a place for your foot and you can put that end on the ground. I like how it has a little hose running from the pump to the valve (like the pumps I remember from 40 years ago.) All those features make using it a lot like using a floor pump.
