Who has a frame pump that they love? I need to carry something besides CO2. I’d like the best of all worlds. Small, light, actually works when you need it and cheap would be cool too. I’d appreciate anyone first hand experiences. Thank you

I looked at lots of them, read the opinions of others on ST, spent too much time thinking about it.
Bought the Lezyne. Haven’t used a CO2 since. It’s not super easy, but easy enough. The key is the hose that screws onto the valve and allows some freedom of movement as you pump.
I have a SKS Supershort Mini Pump that is super tiny and weighs 103g (manufacturer claimed). It goes for $16 on Amazon and it works. The pump actually fits in my medium sized wedge along with some tire levers and a tube.
+1 om lezyne, although my pick is this one. http://www.lezyne.com/en/products/hand-pumps/high-pressure#!road-drive

I also have a road drive. I have mixed feelings about it. You need to screw the head onto your valve stem. The first time I did this, it actually twisted the threaded part of the valve stem right off! The end of the valve stem was stuck into the pump and I needed tools to get it out. This actually happened at home. If I had been out on road I would have been stranded with 2 wrecked tubes and no way to inflate on even if I could patch one.
