Although I've tooted and touted the virtues of the classic HpX, and enjoyed the more dubious style points of the uber cool but primitively annoying Impero (Campy head; what else?), I have to say that Lezyne has brought minipumps out of barbarism into high civilization. I forget the model, but they have a fat, short one that does wonderfully with 622 X 60 Big Apples and even better with 622 X 50 Furious Freds. And I just bought a Road Drive in Medium, and in beautiful polished aluminum, which fits nicely into the custom Banzer Bag that adorns my gofast. The Road Drive claims 160 psi max, which means in reality that 90 is easy for skinnies.
Lezyne also makes a miniature floor pump that puts the Topeak "Morphs" to shame aesthetically and ergonomically, but it's a wee bit too long and bulky for a smallish seat pack. These words from one who, 20 years ago, suffered Untold Hells trying to get 559 X 35 Fatboys to the statutory 110 psi, as labeled on the sidewall, using Blackburn Airsticks. That said, while I have, am now, and will in the future abandon, reject, dismiss, renounce, relinquish, disclaim, disavow, forgo, disown, discard, and utterly reject all frame pumps in favor of the best current "mini" pumps, I fully intend, aim, propose, and determine to have suitable pump peg affixed, appended, attached, and subjoined to any possible future and at this point hypothetical custom dirt road bike for the sake of mounting a medium-sized Impero with Campy head, to complement the bike's inevitable Dura Ace 7410 derailleurs.
