Here's a thorough review of the two most popular touring pumps in years - the Topeak Road Morph and Lezyne Micro Floor drive.

Both of these pumps are designed so that one may anchor them to the ground with a foot while pumping, thus improving their ease-of-use greatly over conventional frame pumps, which always give your arms and hands (and valve stems) a real workout. This video (@1:20) shows how:


I own both the Topeak and Lezyne. I prefer the Lezyne because it's smaller and lighter (good for packing into bag, no ugly, cluttering, weight-increasing frame mount required. The Lezyne requires a couple more strokes than the Topeak due to smaller cylinder diameter, and it costs a bit more, but on the other hand it doesn't tend to fall apart as easily as the Topeak. Owners who have reported problems with their Topeak have also reported that Topeak customer service is generous in repairing pumps by offering free parts, and occasionally completely free (warrantied) replacement pumps.

If you are dead-set on a traditional style frame pump, then the Park PMP-5 is a good choice in that it adjusts in length to fit nearly any frame TT dimension. I am unaware of any frame pump which integrates a pressure gauge. There are decent gauges sold separately. I have an old, inexpensive Zefal and it is more accurate than the gauges in the Topeak and Lezyne pumps. The Lezynes pumps are sold both with or without gauge, and their spare parts catalog includes a gauge if you ever choose to integrate a gauge to a gaugeless Lezyne pump.

Zefal, BTW, still makes their HPX frame pump in four sizes, mostly black only.
