I've used three frame pumps. My target was around 105 psi. My first was a Blackburn mountain type (from about 15 years ago.) I couldn't get it up to 105 and got tendonitis in my forearms from the strain - I'm not kidding. Then I got a Zefal HpX. It worked great. Sure, it's still a bit of a struggle compared to a floor pump, but I could get to 105 without major pain. Now I have a Topeak Road Morph. I find it the easiest of all because of the design that is similar to a floor model.
Incidently, I was dubious about the efficacy of the gauge on the Road Morph, so I tested it against my expensive dial gauge. It was right on! I left the dial gauge at home and save several ounces!
