My old Trek 720 came with a zefal frame pump. I hated it. Harder to use. Easier to rip off the valve stem. The road morph works great, just like a floor pump. I think I can pump up a tire faster with the morph then I can with a frame pump and be less winded doing it.
Frame pumps may work great for some, but for me, it will always be a morph.
