As I understand it, you either get an adjustable pump (Park PMP-5) or you buy a sized to order frame (such as a Zefal HPX, or a new Silca Impero).
I'm leaning towards the HPX. Any votes for the (MUCH more expensive) Silca?

I realize that I'm resurrecting an old thread, but I'm trying to figure out how to mount a pump on my new-to-me 60cm Lemond Zurich. The pumps are made small enough to fit many small frames. How do you adjust the pump so that it will expand to length and be held in place with a big frame? Is the Park PMP5 the only pump that will work with all frames, or do I have to spend a wad on a correctly-sized Silca Impero. Other options?
Thanks!
Thanks!
I don't know which frame-fits are currently available, but I think the Park may have been disco'd.
There have, in the past, existed accessory pump pegs, a strap-on doohickey to hold one end of the pump in situations where no peg is fitted or the span is too long for the pump.
Ah, it looks like the ol' reliable Zefal HpX is still available, here in a couple of sizes in stock:

Thanks, fellas.
Nice looking ride, Wittyname. How do you like the Chilkoot vs the Domane?
