Look at the GP-21, "http://www.giyo.com.tw/prod04.htm"
It's rebranded by many distributors, including Bike Gear. I bought one
at Orchard Supply Hardware for about $12, and it's been fine for many years.
Whatever you buy, ensure that the pump has an aluminum, not a plastic,
barrel. I just had a plastic-barreled pump (a full length one)
self-destruct when the barrel split by the end where the piston goes in.
It's actually so nice to use my full-length, aluminum, Zefal HP-X4, that
I may abandon the pocket size pumps. It fits right onto the pump clip on
my tandem. I have an HP-X3 for my road bike. I guess I'm a retro-grouch,
but those pumps are a lot more practical than the mini pumps.
