hei jürgen and posse, put a good transmission on this somewhat fatter if smaller one should be nice. but there must be limits to the vergnügen. this is a great thing you run, best regards! careful now, tobi -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: python-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:python-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Im Auftrag von Jürgen Mages Gesendet: Dienstag, 3. Juni 2008 19:39 An: python@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Betreff: [python] Re: New Python Hello Jaime, Tobias Gommel has built a python with really fat tires. See attached picture. I think that apart from such a 20" front wheel there is no other realistic solution for your inseam length. On this page http://en.openbike.org/wiki/Pivot you will find a brief overview of steering pivot solutions. Ordinary steering heads have already been tried. A friend of mine has one and there is no sign of wear or play yet (1000 km), so I would give it a try. Cheers, Jürgen.
