    The mask is a nice touch for the vintage.

    I always thought frame pumps seemed like a good idea. The mini ones are such a pain to use on the side of the road.

    Yeah I agree. But while pumping up a 2.6" MTB tire with a mini pump seems like " fuck no shoot me in the head and stick a carrot in my nostrils", carrying a big pump doesn't really seem easy either. It's hard to fit in a small backpack, and doesn't fit in my frame :(

    I'm currently going with battery powered e-waste pump together with a mini pump, and one of them is going to work for aure

    Mini pumps aren't much better for road tires, if you are wondering. I use CO2 cartridges. Wasteful, I know, but I don't use that many. I bought 16 a few years ago and still have one or two left.

    Those big frame pumps were pretty nice. I still have my old Zefal hpx. I considered making it my pump for my gravel bike, but it's pretty old, and who knows what condition the rubber seals are in, so I wasn't sure I trusted it.

    Some friends have those battery pumps, and I've used them twice. They seem fine. Over the long run, likely less trash than CO2 cartridges.
