Well I looked at frame pumps this weekend. Unfortunately the Road Morphs won't work for me. Most frame pumps have a bracket that attaches under the water bottle cage, so the pump sits next to the bottle. The guy at REI said that the Road Morphs used to come with a bracket like this. But now the bracket is different so you have to choose between carrying the Road Morph or having a water bottle cage. I need the water bottle cage. The other option is to zip tie the bracket under the top tube. But my top tube has a cable running under it and I don't want to have to mess with a pump bracket possibly interfering with the cable. Also it would cheesy.
I also looked at two Lezyne frame pumps. I think one was the one Rebecca mentioned. When not in use a short hose stores inside it.

But there are plastic caps on each end which came off a little too easily for me -- I thought I'd end up losing them.
So I ended up buying a version of this one (without a pressure gauge).

I tried it out on my front wheel (the one that now has an annoyingly short stem) and it worked easily enough. It's also quite light. I haven't put it on the bike yet. I think it will look a bit odd, since doesn't look like a typical frame pump. I'm working on getting over that. Because after all the pump I currently use looks perfectly normal but it took too many attempts to get it properly attached to the stem, so this is a case where function > form.

Definitely an interesting design, i like it and the size. Looks are nice but being well made, stable in use and with good pumping efficiency is more nice.:) Hoping it works well for you!!
Mine’s the ‘pressure drive (cfh)’ the only difference with the small size in your link is it also lets you use a CO2 cartridge with the flex hose. Same plastic end caps though but I bought a rebuild seal kit with it that also has two more end caps. I just like using CO2 when out riding more than pumping…for me the pump is just a back up while on the road.
