PUMP-wise you should buy a Joe Blow pump. They're great.

Bike-wise I'd look on craigslist. You can often get more for your money than going to some store and getting a new bike. "Vintage" is also likely to mean "heavy" w/ the frame, if you're OK with that. I have a road bike with an 80s steel frame which is heavier than newer bikes but I just work with it.

Personally when I buy a new (used) bike I replace a lot of the components to fit my personal preferences. For $800 you should definitely be able to get a sweet ride. Id' recommend putting "no-flat" tires on them. I currently have Schwalbe tires and have had them on for a year and a half without ONE SINGLE FLAT TIRE!!! They are great!

I used to ride a bike, but I got rolled by the 5-oh every single fucking day and night, and so I got sick of it. plus, the bike cockblocks on getting rides home like a wingman with no game and no ride home of his own...

no you misunderstand, the bike doesn't hate on getting with chicks, it hates on getting rides home from various places you rode the bike to when offered, because generally people don't expect to drive you home from Eagle Rock or Echo Park with a bike hangin halfway out they trunk on the 110 freeway...
