Bikes: 2006 Trek 5200, Avanti Corsa Pro, Giant Yukon, Ricardo Cro-Mo, 1992 Mongoose pro-comp, 1980 DiamondBack senior pro, 1980 Quicksilver... half a dozen other BMX bikes in various stages of completion.

Pump report fer matagi:
Took a good look at the Road Morph. It's a great idea having it turn into a floor pump, every review I've read was a good 'un, but they're a bit more cumbersome than I expected. Definitely not 5cm wide , but with the hose running up the side, it's the length of a road pump and the width of a wide MTB pump.
After asking at the shop, I was pointed to one that Oz mentioned:

Mine is by a mob called "Bike Essentials" - Taiwanese, aloominum body.
All the blokes in the shop had 'em on their bikes and reckoned that they were a good thing.
It's rated to 160psi - dunno 'bout that but as soon as I got home, I let me front tyre down and gave it a shot.
110psi in less than a couple of minutes without any fuss so I reckon 130+ wouldn't be out of the question.
The hollow handle has a lid on it fer patches (supplied) and a schraeder adapter (also supplied).
It almost disappears when it's clipped to the frame (bracket uses bottle cage mount bolts)



[edit] oh, and it was $36 as opposed to $60 fer the Morph.
