nice bike, but why you wanna hook up so many items on your bike? make it so lala already. also not heavy meh? so many pouch.... i would hook the pump at the side of the bottle cage. ride off road why scare dirty? somemore you got mud guard mah.....

Hmmm... thanks for advice.... Cause I go for night ride... so need to prepare those things lo.... the bag under saddle is for tube and multi tools.... The bag in top tube is for my light's battery, small torch light and my keys will be in there too....
Hmmmm.... can't fix it to side of the bottle cage, tried before, my leg's will hit that pump so it need to be top or bottom of the frame tube. Also did tried to fix under the top tube but the cables will rub the pump.... hmmmm.....
Thinking of getting a camel water bottle and fix it to where the water bottle cage is....

the bike should be light as possible so it is responsive to the max, all pumps, water bottles and tubes should go in a riding pack so they do not get in the way. only essentials should be on the frame, good and bright lights (a must), cyclocomp (optional, mud? what mud?), mudguards (optional), bottle cage (no need, do you really want to drink from a bottle that got hit by rat shit?) just my 2 sen. since it is a night your fluid need will be a lot less than a hot day ride, one bottle in the bag should be enough.

Heavier bikes are more responsive la...
Anyway... wan easier, get CO2 catridge lo. And dump it into the bag instead. a

As a rider who rides a relatively heavy bike, well, i can say that once the bike starts rolling, we won't feel that much weight. Responsiveness and flickability IMHO is determined by the geometry and fit. For example a slack geometry with wide bars is more responsive than the same frame with shorter bars. A less slack angled bike will feel less flicky compared to a slacker bike. Wheelbase, head angle and center of gravity dictates how responsive it is.
Another example is that, slacker bikes are more responsive at speed compared to less slack bikes and at slower speeds, a less slack bike is more responsive when slower.
Guys I need some advice to put this air-pump to my bike.
Currently it is seated on the top tube as you see in pic. Previously it was in the seat tube just behind the water bottle cage. Really not a good place as it gets very dirty after a ride offroad.
But because of the shape of tube for my bike, fixing on top tube makes will move from side to side. Beside i am using Thule car rear hanger to take my bike, so fixing at seat tube makes it an obstruction for mounting the bike to the carrier (Light Green color part is where the bike will be fixed to the carrier.)
