The evolution of "on bike" inflation devices, in my opinion, has been going backwards. It should end with a full size frame pump. Marketing strikes again.
I concur completely.

Bianchi & Capo #1: Zefal HP-X
Capo #2: Mt. Zefal; anachronistic, but it fits between the downtube pegs
UO-8: Blackburn, which fits between the downtube pegs
Schwinn: Mt. Zefal (fits original braze-on pump peg on back of seat tube)
