I like these solutions Nick, Kim and Andy. Absent a pump peg mount I do think that using the QR skewer is the best, so elegant and minimal. I read about that on iBOB and it really got me. Then I forgot about it. I'll have to see if I can make that work.
Wes: It's not necessarily better! It's just an idea I executed to see if it would work. I definitely prefer the brazed-on pump peg. That said, there might be some interference between the front derailer cable and the pump when mounted behind the seat tube. I actually can't tell. Haven't had any shifting issues but I can't get a good line of sight and have been too lazy to crawl under the bike or flip it over to truly investigate.
