Hi
At the moment I'm working on a python-like design with a 20" rear wheel and
a 26" front. I thought this would be nice since with a smaller rear wheel
you can decrease the angle of the seat, without increasing the wheel base.
And it seems to work great (on paper), since with a wheelbase of about 115
cm, I managed to get the seat at an angle of 22º (approximately). What you
could even do, is make to different rear forks, so you have a "racing" fork,
with which you have 22º seat angle and a wheelbase of ±115 cm, and a "city"
fork of about 15 cm shorter for increased maneuverability (is this spelled
right?) and a seat angle of approximately 32º.
I will send the drawing when I've finished a more precise one.
