Frame Pump
 

Does anyone know of a frame fit pump which can be securely held underneath a top tube and has storage. The only thing i can find is this one from specialized. It is decent price with everything that i am looking for but i want something with a classic/vintage look.
Any help would be great!:thumb:
Thanks.

Because late model pumps are so vastly superior to those of the 1960s and 1970s, I compromise on appearance and use Zefal HP-X or Blackburn pumps on all of my bikes. My only model- and period-correct pump is the Mt. Zefal between my mountain bike's left chainstay and pump peg.

My Zefal HP's fom the seventies work as well as any frame pump I've ever used.

And the black plastic Zefal frame pumps are cheap enough to get one for every bike.

Silca.

Thanks for all the responses. I've been eyeing those silca's and do indeed like the Mt. Zefal. I am trying to find a frame pump which will be able to store a tire lever and a couple tube patches. I think it is silly to keep just these two items in a saddle bag, which probably ways more than the both of them. Mind you, im not a weight weanie, im just trying to keep things as simple and minimal as possible.

I agree with Grand Bois; modern frame pumps are not significantly better than the Zefal HP. And the frame pump remains the standard that modern mini pumps would like to be as good as; but aren't.

There is no classic vintage look that equals a Silca Impero with a Campy steel head. It works as well as any other pump for presta valves.

I'm happy using the Topeak Road Master Blaster. I wouldn't make a tiny storage compartment in the pump as a deal-breaking requirement. You can find places to hide tiny storage compartments all over your bike if you can't stand to use a small under seat tool pouch.

+1 MKahrl I have two and they work great while being very light. Just replaced the rubber parts on one I bought in 1973. I like to carry a tool to get under the Tubular for flats and once in awhile a allen wrench which I put in my jersey pocket. Just have to remember to put then there!

I put a silver Silca Impero on the bike I built for my son. No storage, but the look is great and a small wedge saddle bag can fit an extra tube and tire levers

I KNOW I would forget to put the patches and lever in my pocket. I think I am going to go with the Topeak Road Master Blaster. I could probably just stuff the lever in the folds of the spare tube and tie it to the saddle rails and maybe tape a few patches to the seat post?
