And you're right, the saddle does look pretty tilted. I think the picture angle and the siding makes it look a little worst than it is!
I actually think it looks kind of cool! I also think the saddle angle looks unrideable, but your heiny, not mine!
There are some good mini-pumps out there out I think, so unless you've tried 'em all, I wouldn't write off the whole category. I think the medium Lezyne Road Drive is darn impressive.
I'm confused by your pics though; did you remove a cage later in the bike's life? The rims in the sideview look worn at the brake track, and there is only one cage, but the other pic has two and the tracks are not as worn, so I presume it's earlier.
