Buy a Silca pump.
It's a floor model, will last forever, all parts are available and replaceable.
$35 from Colorado Cyclist and many other places.
The classic and good to well over 100 psi.

I have a cheap KMart High Pressure pump that works fine. However, for my complete inflates I decided
to try one of these "emergency car pumps" that you can get from auto parts stores. They plug into
the car lighter, and are supposed to be good up to 150+ psi. The one I have will get my tubes up to
80 psi w/not too much trouble. The only thing about the model I have is that if you get it hot (10
minutes or so), they recommend a 30 minute cool down. However, if doing a complete tire/tube change,
the cool down time doesn't seem to be a huge problem.
I think you can get them at auto-parts stores for $20 or so.

Hi, I have one of these and it works very well. I use it mostly for road bike tires, both topping
off and tube changes. I even managed to top of my car tires with it, but that is not its forte. I
got mine from Performancebike.com, on sale for around $21. They now have it for $24.99, list $34.99.
I like it, it seems to be a good pump. Life is Good! Jeff

If you live near a Performance shop I'd recommend the Performance Hurricane. If you don't live
near one avoid the Hurricane like the plague. Since my nearest LBS is a Performance shop I find
the Hurricane, currently listed at $14.99, a fine investment. Taking advantage of Performance's
no-questions-asked return policy I'm enjoying my new Hurricane which I got on exchange about a
month ago. It's my fifth or sixth; I've sort of lost track. They keep breaking; Performance keeps
replacing them. We've been doing this little dance for about five years now! :-)

Silly me! I thought that I was the only person doing the Hurricane Shuffle. Somehow it got great
reviews five or six years ago in some bike publication. It seems to brake every nine months.
