sounds like a road morph for me.
i sorta want the Zefal but they're quite hard to find right now- i guess they're redesigning 'em or something.

I have a Topeak frame pump on my group ride bike and it seems to perform as well as or better, than my old Zefal. I guess I like the looks of a full frame pump and don't trust minis. I do have a telescoping Blackburn on my recumbent and a simular, other brand, on a MTB that seems to work for the 80 psi tires on those bikes. When you need 120 psi a full frame pump seems easiest to pump up, at least for me.
