Hi Dave, I use the Yepp Mini on my 48-cm Hunqapillar (effective top tube 54.5cm) with albatross bars. My PBH is 80/81 (saddle height ~70), and I'm 5'7".
Here's a pic (and there's more in the photostream): https://www.flickr.com/photos/stakx/21356997484/in/datetaken/ How do you get on your bike? I swing my leg over the rear wheel, since the top tube gets in the way. Occasionally, if there's a top load on the rear rack, I can put my leg over the top tube (not preferred). I can't say that I have had problems with getting on/off with my daughter in the seat (she's now at the weight limit of the seat). The seat does require that I pedal with my knees slightly outward to keep from striking the bottom (minor nitpick). Also, the adapter keeps me from putting the bars a little bit lower, which I would prefer. Nevertheless, I do love the Yepp Mini. I ride my daughter to preschool in the morning, and I will miss it when she no longer is riding up in front. I'll be retiring the seat in the coming weeks as she's at the size/weight limit. Good luck! shoji On Monday, March 14, 2016 at 11:35:46 AM UTC-4, Dave wrote: > > Hi folks, > > Picked up a Yepp Mini stem-mounted child seat this weekend for my 55cm > Cheviot and was surprised to find that the bike is now incredibly hard to > get on and off of.
