Carry along pump (I don't frame mount it) - why? It fits into my CamelBack, has a gauge, and a fold out foot peg so you can use it like a floor pump.

I use a Topeak Mountain Morph pump, and I like it, the head can be adjusted (you flip this little piece around inside) so that it works for presta and schraeder valves. And there is a little foot piece that comes down and the handle adjusts and stuff so that it is very ergonomic.

I forgot to add, the Topeak Morph pump has a hose, so you don't have to worry about shearing off the valve stem while inflating.
