Hi Jürgen & all,
Perhaps it was a prematurely published photo of a secret model ..
Anyway, the picture showed a RWD (!) racer with a front wheel hub which
doubled as bottom bracket. I know there are some (ungeared) designs of
"hub cranks" but as this was mounted om a racer it probably was geared.
Unfortunately none of the pics were taken from the chain wheel side of
the bike.
Obviously, if you could place the bb in the hub that would enable short
persons to ride the python.
I questioned the loss of momentum but what I ment was the loss of
leverage - would you still be able to lean the front wheel (and get it
up again) without the leverage that the distance hub to bb provides in
the original python?

Olaf,
Could this type of "hub cranks" be a solution for those of us with
shorter legs?

(Apparently a new bike by Mike Burrows)
Or would the loss of momentum be too disadvantageous?
Sounds interesting, but I could not download the picture.
The link seems to be dead.
Jürgen.
