First post-
Calfee is atop my list for an upcoming custom carbon fiber roadbike, but a few minutes ogling the gallery's delights gives the distinct impression that a standard tire pump is nearly impossible to carry on these frames...do I have many options here, besides CO2 cartridges?
Thank you.

I carry a Topeak Road Morph which attaches under the bottle cage on the down tube. The Road Morph will pump a tire up to 160 PSI and has a pressure gauge. I have pumped up several tires during road side repairs and have had no problems pumping up tires to 120 PSI.

Thanks Darby, I will have a look at that option.

I use a full frame pump on my Calfee tetra. The way I mount it is to run it along side of the seatstay, on top of the chainstay. Here's a photo:

Good Luck!
