Good news from you 25hz,
can´t wait to see the pictures of the MD python. You said that it
looks even better than yours!
I wonder how you all can achieve that low weight? The same for
Torben. 13 kg are amazing. I measured the P3 once again, now
without all the dirt it had gathered from off-road riding: 19 kg.
Light tubing helps. No suspension helps. Narrow 700c wheels helps. Hard
shell seat helps (carbon even more). No center stand helps. No fenders,
lighting, paint or reflexes helps a little too. I think it's very obvious
from the comparison page pictures.
When the bike goes into "daily recumbent use" mode it will definately be a
little heavier, but below 15 is realistic. I still need to add some
stability brackets, fenders and so on for daily .
About the turning circle: It is not the circle that you can ride
when you are on the bike. It is the theoretical minimum that one
gets while pushing the bike around with the maximum steering
angle. With better practice you might approach this value more and
more.
Oh! I'll measure tonight. Without handlebars I think 3 meters or less. In
the current configuration the shifter hits the rear frame first.
Regards,
Torben
