Commuting - Need good presta style floor pump

Real quick, what is a good floor pump that is affordable and possibly have a gauge with it. I have a gauge so if the price is way high, I would opt for not having that. Im getting tired of using my road morph to pump, its not to easy! So, what is a solid winner and where should I get it, Ive purchased from Nashbar before. Thanks!!

I've had a Silica for as long as I've been riding. They're a great brand. Durable, and I've never had a failure. I got mine for $50 at the LBS. They've got a couple different models, so you'll want to check them out.

Nikos,

I just purchased a Topeake Joe Blow floor pump. I'm totally impressed with it. It has a gauge and a really cool smart head; it automatically adjusts to presta or schrader. I thought my previous floor pump was good, but this one is fantastic! I got it from Colorado Cyclist for around $50. It is well worth the money.

Nikos,
A friend of mine has the basic $22 Nashbar floor pump with guage and loves it. I used hers recently and liked it better than the Planet Bike one I paid $60 for! :( Nashbar also has the Topeak Joe Blow on sale for $35.
FWIW,

I'm with Gus. The Topeak Joe Blow cannot be beat. It is durable, fast, dependable, and rebuildable. Well worth the price.

Silca is good and has been around long enough so that spares are easily available, and will be for a long time to come.

performancebike.com has the Joe Blow Deluxe on sale for $34.99 (reg$49.99) and the Joe Blow Sport Floor Pump for $34.95

nashbar.com has the Joe Blow Deluxe for $49.99 and the Joe Blow Sport Floor Pump for $34.95

Another Joe blow fan. It's easy to use, gauge is easy to read, and if it's on sale like folks have said, it's more than a bargain.

Thanks guys, just scored the deluxe joe blow at performance bike for 34.99 . Had to inflate my tires a touch totay and trying to get pressure to at least 100 was quite the job with my road morph!!

Gus, you may have the pro model, it sells for more and is more durable. :)
