If you want a real "frame" pump that actually really works well, get a Zefal HP full-frame pump. All aluminum. inexpensive and good enough to use as an every day tire pump.

I have only found one or two bottle cage pumps that work well. One, although really small, is the Topeak Micro Carbon pump (expensive - $39.99) or the Spin Doctor Rescue HP mini pump for $29.99. Between the two I like the Topeak Carbon better because it is small, works well and doesn't have a hose to fuss with. Yeah, it takes a lot of pumps to get to pressure though.

FWIW I mount a full frame pump for rides outside the city or rides where I'm alone with no help available.

Bulldog is right though, Lezyne makes great products all the way around and any pump from them will work well but I'd give serious consideration to the Zefal HP full frame pump. It's a real pump for real pumping when you have a flat tire and really have to get home without calling for assistance.
