Frame Fit Pumps

I got a flat today. It was my first flat in a very long time. The latex tube failed by blowing out into a spoke recess (even though it was covered with an intact rim strip).

I had a Lyzene mini-pump and a spare tube with me, so I was not stranded. It did point out how insufficient those mini-pumps are when trying to reach 100-120 psi.

I limped back home on a tire inflated to only about 60-70 psi.

Ironically, I have a vintage Silca Impero but took it off the bike. I get so few flats, I was looking to preserve it.

So, what does the hive know about the new Silca Impero frame pump? Anyone have one? They are expensive ($165) but do they work?
