Lezyne Alloy Road Drive HP is always on the bike.
But I'm a big fan of Co2

Hang on, he spends all his money on bikes. That automatically means that he has less money. So proportionately more sense than money. Mind you, he'd need to buy a pannier and rack to carry the pack it comes with.^^^ More money than sense surely! Can't imagine it's really the best pump?

Lezyne Road Drive. It's got a flexible hose! Fixed head pumps are the spawn of the Devil.....unless you have some kind of pervy broken valve fetish..

So do both my topeak pumps. And they turn into mini track pumps. With guages.

I like the Topeak pocket rocket, solid, light, reliable 100psi is eminently doable with it and its a minute or so at the roadside to get enough air in to get you home if you don't want to pump it all the way up.

Does Cav actually pump his own tubes?
AIUI when he has a puncture a bloke leaps out of an adjacent motor vehicle,runs to Cav's bike & changes the whole wheel faster than you can say "jobsagudun"

looks similar to ones I have from Decathlon (Barbieri) but with better manual pumpin facility and with better control over gas release. A report once it arrives would be very welcometo...screenman
an ''older'' rider here - with asthma too.. so canna pump to 110psi with the mini-pump i have
i just ordered this - due this week....................http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360619757421?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDXT.
a manual pump, with the capability to use a 12gram threadless CO2 capsule [20 UMAREX for £10.99]
or a larger 16gr threaded capsule [20 for £17.95]
my idea is to use the manual, then 'top-up' with the CO2
i'll do a report if you're interested

Apparently the pump is to Cav's design and one he uses when on lone training rides. I tried to see if this was the case but I simply could not ride and throw tacks fast enough.
There are a limited number in existence as they call came with the Cavendish limited edition 100 win Venge.
I think its a great pump as a engineering design piece, it really is beautifully finished.
I have never used mine, I use a co2 pump and the Cav pump sits on a shelf in my bike room.
The criteria stated by the original poster was Best Road Bike Pump (portable) at no point was using it a requirement
The Cav pump is without a doubt the best finished and best presented portable pump on the market..Does Cav pump his own tires? - No Idea but if he has any sense he would not use this, he would keep it at home as a thing of beauty.

The older I get, the faster I used to be ...
If we are looking for the best looking pump I still like the Topeak Micro Rocket CB
- probably not the best for function - think I would say Lezyne HP - but given it's size it is quite efficient, and it is very pretty!

i was told to deflate the tyre when home and refill with air -- cos Co2 leaks faster ...that's all i know.?

I still use a long aluminium Bluemels hand pump, the one with red, white and blue rings around it. Very efficient and easy to get plenty of pressure in the tyres. I have had it 30 odd years and still works as good as the day I bought it. I also have a Topeak mini pump, handy for the summer when I want to sit by the side of the road in the sunshine and waste half hour pumping up my tyres after a puncture.
