Don't worry about the gussets (joints as you called them) they are a lot tougher than you might imagine.

When I got my first Calfee (I've had three) I faced the same problem as you; where do I hang my frame pump? A smaller pump is less than satisfactory, and I didn't want to get involved with C02. I do a lot of organized charity rides, and invariably I help more than a couple of people with flats.

I wound up, after some experimentation, with a Topeak Road Master Blaster pump mounted vertically between my bottom bracket and seat tube gusset. The pump works excellent, it's easy to use and gets the tire pressure up quickly. Using the correct length pump insures snug mounting that stays put until you need it. I also use the same pump on my Kirk mounted underneath the top tube.
