Agreed, very difficult with most frame pumps to get up to recommended psi. A decent floor pump is a good investment. Even after only 3 days or so the pressure is back down by 20 psi or so on my commuter. The difference in speed, making lights, saved time, etc. is pretty astounding. Makes me wonder about folks touring. Not having tires at the max psi must represent many lost miles over a long haul.
