Rob, I built my python with rod end bearings for the steering.  Changing the
steering angle is quickly and easily done as the rod end bearings allow for
length adjustment.  I didn't plan quite properly however so I also had to
move my seat back another 1cm when I changed the steering angle.  I can't
change the angle much more because the rod end bearings are now at their
maximum angle...my center frame was not well planned as the tubes on it are
basically horizontal, which means the rod end bearings must accomodate close
to 30-40 degrees of misalignment.

My python (http://www.python.tieflieger.net/pics/channon.jpg)is brazed
together, although it is made from bike parts rather than the rectangular
tubing Jurgen uses. All my bikes I have built so far are brazed together
with good success.
