Topeak made a very decent and inexpensive frame pump call the Master Blaster I believe, but I can’t find it in stock anywhere so I’m guessing it’s discontinued. What is a good alternative w/o stepping up to something more expensive like a Silca? I’m looking for a full length frame pump, not a stubby one.

the little known to most humans optional behind-the-water-bottle-cage mount available from Todson. Not sure why they don't ship the pump with this bracket, but they don't. Lets you mount a water bottle cage with the bracket right behind it.

Aside from the issue of mounting it on a frame, I don't know why more folks are not champions of the Topeak Road Morph (or any of its variants). You can use it like a regular floor pump.

Agreed. High quality. High pressure. Been using Zéfal HPx pumps for decades. I fear the day mine are worn out or broken and I can’t get a new one. Not sexy. They just work.

I’ve never really paid attention to this pump but I just looked at a video and it looks well thought out and useful. Not a fan of how it mounts but other than that it looks great

with today's carbon frames and frame bags, full length frame pumps are just not selling...I had a Blackburn that I had on my gravel bike and it just disappeared...I didn't have it strapped down while in the dirt;( I like the idea of the morph but couldn't see me strapping it on my Stigmata...or any of my bikes. I went with the Silca Tattico (non bluetooth).

I just bought 2 masterblasters. They are the best, scoop them up while they are available.

I really hope they release something else but similar, its a great pump, cheap and better than the $180 silca

Not a fan of how it mounts but other than that it looks greata have a friend who used to carry one in his back jersey pocket. it was ridiculous.

if my topeak master blasters ever die, I'm going to carry a lezyne road drive. I know the OP isn't after a mini pump, but that particular one is good enough to replace a frame pump, IMHO. better even, in some ways.

That’s just very cool. No where else but this forum could someone post a question and get such a perfect illustration of what was asked about.

Clancy pal, you are too kind. You know what's sad about this...all these pumps that I got, they came from my local co-op...conceivably they were "abandoned" by their previous owners in light of...

And to be fair, I also used the "newer" methods on some of my rides but when it comes to larger volume tires and gravel bikes, i revert back to frame pumps for their pumping capacity and long-term reliability.

To be clear, I think most of the pumps that I have shown on my first picture are about on par with each other except the older Silica (on the right) which by today's standards, is a bit flimsy. I have broken two so far just from normal use, maybe they have deteriorated over time, I dunno, they are pretty old.
