Full sized frame pumps are still available, work great, and weigh only 6-8 ounces. The pull cord is a great idea though. This pump looks really neat, but why compare it only to a mini?

So I went ahead and bought the thing. I got the plus model which goes up to 120psi. I also got the pump/case combo. I've used it once so far just to pump up my tires a bit on the commute home because they seemed to have lost a little air. Indeed, it was very easy to attach and use. There is some vibration when pulling the cord, but I don't think it would cause any physical damage if used only on occasion. ( There is actually a warning on the documentation ). The case fits right under the main triangle part of the frame near the seat and it does not get in the way of anything. I did not weigh it, but while it may be an ounce or two more than some high-end mini-pump, it certainly does not feel heavy. I for one am already glad I got it since it will certainly speed and ease the effort on flat fixes on the way to or from work... OK. So I went ahead and bought the thing.

And the pump head is presta-compatible. Very nice! I wonder what the break-even point is for this pump vs CO2. From the company web site, they have a “Plus” model that goes to 120psi.
