I need a frame pump. Anyone want to recommend a good one?
I have heard some of them can be so difficult to use (if you don't have gorilla muscles) that they would be worthless if there wasn't a guy around to pump it for me!

Good thing you mentioned that! I've been making DH carry the pump, but I'm riding without him more now, and should get my own. I seem to remember people posting about Topeak's Road Morph and Road Morph Mini last fall! They have "floor stand" thingies, which sounds really good to me!

Yep...Road Morph. We have the mini and this wimp can actually pump 100 lbs pressure with it.
Thorn, does yours have the foot thingie so that it replicates a floor pump? I've also been considering one of those, since I finally had to use my mini pump and it was a fight to get to 75psi.
Another convert to the Topeak Road Morph (after seeing recommendations originally on TE!). I don't have the mini version, but the full size one is quite small and fits easily on my compact frame.
I really can't sing its praises highly enough - it inflates to 100psi very quickly and I've actually had several other riding buddies go out and buy one after seeing it at work. The little gauge is invaluable too. No more shredded valves or fruitless pumping. You certainly won't regret buying one.
Yep, my pump has the little piece that turns for the floor and another thing on the handle so you have a small handle, too.
I wouldn't want to use it everyday, but I no longer stress about flats because I know I can get the tire back up to pressure.
Do a quick search for Road Morph on the forum, and you'll see that many of us just love it. I can easily pump a tire up to 120 psi with it.
road morph by topeak is the excellent! I've had mine for about 5 years...liked it so much I got one as a gift for my roommate since he'll be cycling from Seattle to Portland this summer.
I have the regular sized one and it fits on my bike w/room to spare (I ride a 49cm).
mine is a "Morph Road G"
it is the coolest thing since sliced bread.
Road Morph Person here, too... sometimes it handles presta valves better than my floor pump :(
Another vote for the Road Morph!
Well, I guess it's going to be the Road Morph for me!!
