+1 to the road morph , if you really want to get decent pressure you cant beat it , i carry a mini dual G in my pannie rwhich i regard as more of a get you home but i could get around 100 psi out of it if i persevered, comes with a mount that sticks out of the side of a bottle cage so you can still get a bottle in.

I also have a pocket rocket which is definitely a get you home pump, with luck you might get 90 but you would need biceps of steel.

I use one of them and it's good. Swapping from Presta to Schräder is a bit of a fiddle and the inline gauge is not that easy to read, but it's a good pump and will easily get to road tyre pressure. The mount uses a couple of sturdy cable ties (so it's not ideal for swapping from frame to frame in a rush) and straps on smoothly with velcro.

Tesco's do them, I have used the first two listed, but this type of pump I avoid now that their are better options, I find that you can easily bend or even snap the valve on a Presta type when you get to a high pressure when you start having to pump hard and you cannot hold the pump or wheel still, and once again when the going gets hard, there is not much room for a hand hold on them and just move your front hand slightly and nip it with the plunger as you force the air in and by hell does it hurt, you soon stop using them. At low pressures though there usable but in reality the only thing good about them is you can fasten them to a bike water bottle holder or put them in a pocket:-

Hi, apologize for jumping in but I'm after a presta mini pump to fit to my bike as well and this info has helped. Have been looking at a Blackburn Airstik ( I thought Blackburn were a good make) but looking at reviews on ChainReaction Cycles this pump is full of faults..... will have a look at Topeak products. Thanks again!

I've had two Blackburn Airsticks, the second a replacement for the first which broke, thanks to the lifetime guarantee, but thats about all that I found good about them. I replaced it with a couple of Leyzne pumps. I also had a Blackburn MTB pump which was good for my road bikes and did get my tyres up to a hard pressure with little effort...................but it broke too and could not be bothered to get it replaced on the gurantee
