Congratulations!! Do you have any pics of the hatchling? I'd love to see your folding arrangement! When you say the pivot is skewed 12deg do you mean back from 90deg? i.e. 78deg Cheers Daryl -----Original Message----- From: python-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:python-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Frank Parmir Sent: Thursday, June 02, 2005 5:52 AM To: python@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [python] New python in Columbus Ohio USA Hi Jurgen, I finished hatching my python a few days ago. Its pretty rough but functional. The first practice session was "one revolution on the crank and fall off". The second was more of the same. At the end of the third session, four hours, I could stay on for fifty feet. By the sixth I was going 100 yards. Then I decided to change the suspension pivot so that I could fold the bike and put it in the trunk of my car. Yester day I reworked the pivot so that it is skewed about 12 degrees. The back wheel can now fold under and ends up beside the front wheel. Today it's back to practice. Soon I'll be a pro.
