any road pump recommendations ?

I have touring bike with Vittoria Randonneur 700x32 tires - they need
about 80psi.
I bought Crank Brothers Alloy Pump for it but then checked online
reviews and
they are very polarized - people either hate it or think it is the
best pump they
ever had. Are there any other pumps you could recommend?

Best pump is the Zefal xpx full frame. mini pumps are silly,
especially for touring where you don't need to save weight.

Thanks - I read about Zefal but reviews of recent models - HPX ASV
were mixed - supposedly older models were somewhat superior.

Regarding mini-pumps - I have Topeak Master Blaster DX on my MTB
and couple times that I tried to use it I was not very happy with
results. Maybe I should try Crank Brothers pump on MTB - esp since
you can mount it on top tube where there is less chance for it to snag
a branch.

In 50 years of riding my Silcas have never failed me.

Topeak Road Morph is very quick and easy, even for a lightweight woman. The
pump is pretty bulky, though. The Topeak Mini Morph is smaller, but takes
more time and effort.

Also - is Zefal supposed to mount along seat tube - spring-loaded
between top tube and BB? My bike has second bottle holder there
and I would hate to lose it - is it possible to mount it underneath
the top tube?

Another vote for the TRM. There was a thread in RBT not long ago, and the
TRM was the consensus choice. Sounds like there are a lot of junky small
pumps out there. Here are some reviews:

I have one. Up to 80psi you should have no trouble. Above that, it becomes a
bit of a workout.

Yes. Many bicycles have pump pegs for this, though you can also use a
clamp mount thingee on the forward end. You do have to buy the proper
length.

I researched Silca and their Impero frame pumps are unfortunately
out of print - some Internet shop may still have them tho. Looks
like a true classic. Only concern is how well it stays on Presta
valve? Can you lock it? Or do you have to press with your hand?

Unless you live in a place with unusual road hazards, such robust
tires should go long enough between punctures to make the limitations
of even the lousiest pump bearable.
