The Crank Brothers pump attaches to the frame, albeit not with the old style spring loaded principle.

mstateglfr has a point regarding the direct attachment to the valve. Although it works great with Schrader valves, I am very uneasy with the Presta valve stems which are prone to bending.

Normally, I use an 110V electric pump with a Schrader fitting at home. For the Presta Valve equipped Novara, I use Presta to Schrader adapters.

I'd recommend to the OP to buy a pump with an air hose, like some of the ones recommended above. The frame mounting is just a solution with Velcros if no attachment is provided.
