where does the tire pump go ????

Apart from a few rare exceptions, competitive bicycle trials bikes don't have seats.
Most people think this is dangerous, but trust me; having a seat protruding from the top of the frame, where your body is repeatedly moving backwards and forwards and up and down, is MUCH more dangerous.
Moto trials bikes are much the same; they will usually have a sticker where the seat would normally go, but no actual padding. This is to maximize the space available for maneuvering your body mass.
Take a close look at the Phoenix; it doesn't have a seat either.
