I have a Zefal HPX-3 for my 60cm and it would probably work for you too as
it's a touch on the small side. But I would call Riv and ask which size you
need before ordering anything.

On 68cm frames with a long top tube(Bridgestone 400), I have strapped a

Off road it's pretty easy to dislodge the pump. If you don't want to add

The strap isn't to keep the pump from falling off, it keeps it from
rattling.
The rattling can be the sound of the raised edge of the pump handle
hitting the bottom to the TT, which then rusts, then the TT fails.

For me, Planet Bike models seem more likely to do this than a Zefal.
