Is there a mini pump that will actually inflate to 105 psi without breaking? Let me rephrase that: is there a mini pump that will actually inflate to 105 psi when used by a 64 year old of limited upper body strength?

Toepeak Road Morph
I highly recommend the Toepeak Road Morph. It has a little foot that swings out, you put it on the ground, hold one foot on it, and pump up and down like a floor pump. I have inflated tires to 120 with it without much difficulty.
PS I am 58.

i'd go with co2...
...then deflate/reinflate later at home with a floor pump.

Blackburn Airstick...
A Blackburn frame mounted pump is best if you can fit it in your frame.
One of my bikes won't allow a frame pump so I use a Blackburn Airstick mini-pump. It works okay up to about 100lbs. But, I also carry CO2 and an airchuck and only use the airstick to locate the hole in the tube and for emergencies if I run out of CO2 on a long ride. CO2 inflates real quick to 120/130lbs.

Isn't the Road Morph too big to be considered a mini? I would define a mini as a pump you can carry in a jersey pocket.

The Road Morph sure is not a mini. I have a 50 cm frame (which is almost a mini itself) and I had to mount it on the downtube because it is too long to fit anywhere else! It is a great pump, though!
