Yeah, I mean there's no disadvantage to carrying one but I can't see an advantage over a co2/mini pump (other than people think it looks cool, not that there's anything wrong with it). I just don't think they ever look good, and look especially silly on non steel frames but each to their own.
I just don't buy the argument that they're more 'practical' but tbf I don't audax/rando which seems to be the aesthetic they're most associated with.
I got a very nifty, colour matched Silca frame pump included when I bought my All City on eBay. It's been attached for most of the 2000 or so KM that bike has done and I haven't used it once. If it wasn't for the increase in Instagram likes it would have been relegated to the parts box ages ago.
