My suggestion for best `mini' pumps are the Topeak Road/Mountain morphs. Mountain is a little bigger but cheaper, road version has an inbuilt pressure gauge (about 25-30 quid).
Small enough to be carried in a bag but yet good enough to get yer tires around 100 PSI. Never had a problem with mine.
Its hard to pump above 100 PSI cause you don't have the mechanical leverage to do so with a mini-pump. The Mountain Morph I have seems to do a pretty good job getting to around the PSI you need to avoid punctures, without eating the heads off valves which lots of pumps like to do.
Lots of props for the Morph here.
