Thanks Brian. This is all really useful info. It definitely makes the Nexxt version sound appealing. I'd notice the 3 lb weight difference, but I didn't realize the standard Yepp only went up to 27 lbs.
I definitely won't have a top tube as long as on your 65 Clem, but I am on the short side for my MTBubbe, so it's worth a try, maybe. The easy on/off is good too, because I'd rather not give up my touring or mountain bike options, but maybe instead of a BOSCO BEBE, I could get a hold of a fancy modern MTB ...
