[QUOTE=Jeff Wills;13466503]Fiddlesticks. If you're that worried about weight, take a laxative the night before you go for a ride. The difference in weight is the same as filling a water bottle 3/4 full, i.e. negligible.

Fiddlesticks? There's a word I haven't heard in a while.

I own one of those Topeak pumps, and quite frankly, I don't like it! It does have some heft, but that's not why I don't like it, I don't like it because it's very awkward looking, and it will make any bike look ugly; mine is about 6 or 7 years old, and the mount that came with mine would not hold the pump well at all. My touring is the only bike I ride that I decided not to go with a mini pump, instead I use the Zefal HPX-4 frame pump, it looks a lot better on a bike, and it actually puts more air faster into my tires than the Topeak. And the Zefal weighs less.

That's not to say that the Road Morphis a bad pump, it works and gets the job done, I personally don't like it.
