I went to the LBS today, & the pumps on hand where not suitable & where in the $35 range.

They had some Crank Brothers & Pedros Multi Tools @ reasonable prices, just a few $$ more then online, but I just had to have the Topeak Alien II. I found it for $32.81 @ greenfishsports.com.

26 tools including a chain breaker & mini pedal wrench.

Greenfish also had a kick ass price on the Blackburn 2-stage Mini Pump @ $19.13

I also ordered a Park Tool "Home Mechanic's" Pedal Wrench. @ $7.58, it's not worth grinding down a perfectly good 15mm combination wrench.

The rest of the items I need they had @ prices pretty close to online so I will pick up a spare tube, (when I know what kind of valve the OEM tube has) Pedros tire levers, patch kit, etc. from the LBS.

Thanks everyone for the help.
