With enough amoxycillin it will go away.

My bikes are all females, but only the Bott has a nipple. The others are sans nipple. Is this a new genetic mutation brought about by the use of carbon? BTW, is the Bott a uni-nippler?

From: My response would have been something along the lines of: "Does your bike have computer controlled suspension? Then shut your piehole, this baby is from the future!"

But seriously folks, my old bike had one and it came with a frame pump that was supported with it, all was good. My current bike (new to me but an '80s model) doesn't have one but I'd like to have a frame pump for it. Are there frame pumps that don't need a nipple to stay up (oh, I can see someone having a go at this one) or are there add-on nipples (or strap-ons if you want to more incentive for joking)?

Yes. There are many kinds of clamp-on pump holders. From umbrella clips, like the Campy, REG, AFA, etc. Or the double clamp-on ones. Like these, from you neck of the woods.
