I only ride on asphalt so the ride is fairly smooth. When I go from the road
into my driveway there is a bump. When I hit the bump the frame flexes quite a
bit. It scared me at first. I think steel frames flex but on the python I'm
much more aware of it because I'm close to the ground and I don't take up some
of the bump with my bent knees.
I find the ride to be OK without the suspension.

Subject: [python] Rear Suspension
Hello Rod,
it is not a bad idea to leave out the rear suspension. Considering the
mount of effort, weight and the possibility of failure it seems not
really worth to include a rear suspension.
So, I am thinking of revising my building side:
http://www.python-lowracer.de/construction.html
The goal is, to simplify the building process and to save weight.
As I never rode unsuspended Pythons, I am curious to hear some
experiences from you and other riders. Any cracks of the rear frame yet?
Cheers,
Jürgen.
