Decent/budget frame pump for Schraeder valves....
One of my bikes (and current favorite) is Giant hybrid i scored last year on FB Marketplace, and it uses Schrader tubes/valves (which I'm fine with, in fact I kinda prefer them, and have long been using brass Schrader adapters on my Presta tubes).
Anyway, I'm looking around, here and elsewhere, at decent but budget oriented pumps that will reasonably pump a 700x28 tire up in the 50-80psi range. It doesnt have to be the most bestest/lightest/fastest thing available, just economical, reliable, and reasonably functional.
Again, BUDGET is the key word here, so please, no $70 Silca recommendations! Thanks..

...I use mostly old Zefal HPX frame pumps. I don't think they make and sell them new any more, but there a lot of used ones floating around. They're durable, repairable, and they will easily pump to those pressures.

...they are easily serviced. If the O-ring on the pump shaft seems dry, I use a little silicone grease. It's an O-ring, so presumably cheaply replaced. The pump head seems relatively immune to aging...all of mine are probably 20 years old or older. At on time you could buy parts, but Zefal long ago quit making them.

The Topeak Road Morph, Mini Morph, and other Morph variations are all good pumps. They work with both Presta and Shraeder via a flippable rubber seal.

I haven't used these specific budget pumps that are $16-21, but have similar Lezyne pumps that work great and these have the same flex hose connection that works very well
They offer a couple different sizes of the HP and both have presta and schrader chucks built into the hose.
Lezyne Sport Drive HP (High Pressure) and Lezyne Sport Drive HV (High Volume)
