Thanks @Zeeburg @TheBonk for posting the detailed shiznit.
So: my sitch is that the frame I’m have work done (Thorn EXP c.2004, built for derailleur with 725 conical tubes) on has a good, if faintly agricultural arrangement: a thin steel bracket as below with a pip at the back end where it meets the chainstay.
I need to add something that isn’t a pip at the other end, like the Silca frame-fit pump above that TheBonk posted that fits into the back of the schmancy seat-tube light. It will fit between the existing bracket and a strengthening brace Winson Vaz is adding (along with a disc tab and some hose brazeons).
I’m using the Zefal HPX classic which has one end for a peg/pip, one end as in the photo. So I guess I’ll get him to add a sort of toenail-clipping of tubing sticking up angled from the brace to make a seat facing the underside of the seatstay/brace join, for the pump to secure into ...
The other option is to move the braket so it points to the BB (pump end fits fairly well into that cluster although a bit of a fudge), NDS ish to clear a bottom-pull FD- but the band for the FD makes clearances tight and prone to rattlesville.
What would you do?!
