Hi Vi, I whould not recomend front suspention for a python. I build my first Python with front and rear suspention, but removed the front suspention directly after I was able to ride it. It took a lot of power because it reacted to the pedaling. I still have the rear suspention on my old python, and it is working fine, but I startet an other Python yesterday and it will have no suspention.
