My spare tube turned out to be faulty the other week and I ended up with empty CO2 canisters and still a flat. Pump now attached to down tube and the space saved on the saddle bag by leaving out any canisters and adaptor has allowed for an extra inner tube.

Plus £6.49 shopping...so 56p less and you have to wait for it to come from overseas.
There may be a UK seller cheaper, Wiggle was just an example to show the OP the product (first up on Google)
Eg SJS a bit less than either posted

Um.. I wasn't charged postage when I ordered one along with a pressure gauge, £44.75 was the order total. They do free postage on orders of £35+.

The pump on its own would require a delivery charge however

True so you buy something else as with all post free over £x stores; it's one way to make sure you have a supply of puncture patches and the like especially when the order with them comes to less due to the free postage than buying the product on its own.

Fair do. I do try to support UK retailers if I can even if costs a couple more quid.
No point me buying puncture patches as I’d never use them

I have a lezyne road drive - and have just brought a lezyne power drive £28 for my winter bike. I have a track pump for home use - a good investment.

My advice stick to known brands and the basics - and also check it works once in a while - if it's frame mounted they are exposed to the elements and when you need them - pow - it's broke.

Update had to use my Lezyne power drive today (first time)- I was seriously impressed - effortlessly got my tyre up to a pressure to get me home.
It's only a week old - but well worth £28 just for today.

I've never liked the pumps that go on the stem with a lever and my lezynes suit me very well. I have 2 tool rolls whichbeach contain a lezyne pump, a 15 mm wrench, 4, 5 and 6 mm Allens, a couple of tire irons, selfglue patches, a little screw driver, and if I am taking the bike to another town, a spare tire for whatever bike I take. The pump stays clean in the tool roll and most repairs and adjustments can be sorted out.
