Does it help that baby gizmo said the GT will be $100 more than the regular? I'd expect the Versa to be near that, too.

my phone thinks it's smarter than I am.

The only reason I clicked on this thread was because I thought you were talking about the ABC stroller I own already.
I still think I want the Britax B ready.

It doesn't look like the same mechanism on the GT..... so my guess is a brake - could be wrong though.

IDK i am way excited about the GT..... they're about 2 years too late though! I would have gotten a single one of these years ago.... but i am super attached to my leather handles now!

look at this photo-

I'm thinking adjust mechanism with the brake down lower (with the cable coming out).

I found a press release from Dorel that mentioned a new stroller they're unveiling at ABC. I didn't pay attention, though, because I'm not really a stroller person. Or a Dorel person :duck:

I never was until I owned a BJCE, and had to walk nearly everywhere for 9 months. I probably still wouldn't have been if I didn't hang out here.

Maybe the price of the BJCM will come down. I mean at $329 the GT is pushing the price of the BJCS. And how much will the versa be? Even more?

I agree about the break mechanism and adjust in that flickr pic. Looks similar to the adjust on the bug bee.

new BJCM color.

and a new one for Bumbleride, too. They don't seem to get the love, though.

the bumbleride color looks close to my aquamarine blue RAD.

Here's a video with the Versa and BJCMGT. hmmmm, that's a lot of letters. BJGT? GT? just call it freaking awesome? yeah, that's more like it.

I don't even mind the two-step fold on the Versa. It's about 1/3 the size of the Kolcraft Contours, with 3x the functionality.

okay, City Mini GT info-

-will come in single and in double
–the double will be replacing the City Elite Double (which will be discontinued)
-colors = Orange, Green, and Bamboo (mustard-ish)
-seats are bigger (wider, deeper and taller)
-they’ve added more padding so hopefully the child won’t feel the frame through the fabric
-deeper footrest
-wheels are now 8 1/2 inches, and more rugged and durable
-adjustable handlebar
-the bar that goes across the lower back part of the stroller is now U-Shaped to allow easier access to the basket
-two windows in the canopy
-weight limit of 65 lbs
-weighs 4 lbs more than the BJCM

You forgot to mention, it has AIR TIRES!

Which means I may sell my MBUJD to get a GT double!
