Frame pumps have fallen out of fashion for mini-pumps and sexy CO2 dispensers, but there are a few that still like them.
I just put up a review of the Park PMP-5 on Epicurean Cyclist. The last frame pump you’ll ever need to buy. Mainly because it can expand to fit ALL your bikes and you don’t have to buy different pumps for different sizes. Check the review here.

smart design. MMh thanks for the info, I need one of those.
Doesnt that KKanteen raddle?? (btw-that is a nice looking cage)
Mine does (raddle, lots) so now, I just throw it in my purse.
meli…
well…the KKanteens did rattle a bit at first….but those cages (velo-orange steel cages) can be adjusted for a tight fit…just squeeze them hoops together and no more rattle…
I was not smart enough for the frame pump. I had one and kept breaking the seal on the valve stem tube junction when pumping up to pressure. Usually on that last two or three pumps to get just the right pressure…pow! I had to brace the connection to the valve under my foot to keep it elevated and not put stress on the valve so I could pump without ruining the tube. But I loved the look of the frame pump, especially since the frame came with the little sharp knob at the headtube to keep in place.
