Hey Frank,

A nice set of pictures you have there, very interesting.
Quite curious how it will ride. What was your reason to have positive trail? I 
think you do sacrifice a few things for that, like the Python stability (rise 
of centre of gravity when steering) and more pedal induced steering (as the 
pivot point is more to the front). But you have made a nice design and theories 
might be wrong.
When finished, please give some insights about your experience when riding the 
bicycle.

Patrick
