Even better, the Topeak Road Master Blaster -- this one: http://www.westernbikeworks.com/product/topeak-road-masterblaster-frame-pump. I've used both older and newer HpXes (the older ones are better), PBs, Blackburns, Imperos and Road Morphs and the T R MB is my favorite for build, sturdiness, valve seal and "feel".
Odd, speaking of pump pegs on the head tube: my Fargo has one, but it also has such a compact but high-head frame that it has an obtuse and not an acute angle between seat tube and top tube, so you need to hold the pump in place with a strap at the st/tt junction. A little ridge there would have worked better.
