Wishlist: Lezyne Pressure Drive Small

Today's post is something that I actually saw on my ride with Julie/Brian when Jeff flatted and used their pump and it actually worked surprisingly well.  I've been using small CO2 cartridges because it's just conveniant and small, but that's also partially a fault of me not having saddle bag.  I actually kinda like the look of a clean backside on my bike but not having to stuff a tube, cartridge, head and levers every time I go out in addition to everything else starts becoming a wee bit of a pain.  As a result I'll probably be going hunting for one soon.  But this pump is nice because it's really small, it's only 17 cm which will easily fit into the back of a jersey pocket
Look at the pretty colors
It comes in a multitude of different colors and even comes in a carbon version which is very nice, but also very expensive
Now a few things makes this pump a lot better than your typical "regular" pump.  First off is that it fits both presta and schrader valves.  In addition that little snake that see at the bottom of the picture is a snake that has both sides and will just fit into the base of the pump.  The other thing is that this pump is part of their high pressure line which claims to be able pump up to ridable pressure in 30% less pumps. They say that the max pressure that it can get to is 120 PSI and it can definitely get up there.  It's made of alloy metal and they've turned something very plain and simple into an item of beauty.  It comes in a small and medium version and they both cost around 33 bucks.
