Thanks Torben,

30*10*1,5 appears to be plenty strong for the front frame, 

Very interesting! I did not expect that.
I estimate your weight about 75 kg + x.
Maybe this tubing is easier to get from the local dealer than
the 40x10x1.5 which we have to order in 6 m long pieces.

Your just being nice - I'm 90+ kg. I haven't yet put full power to the pedals, but no signs of flex so far.

my (Pythons) weak spot is the brazing - 

Oh yeah. Brazing is an art and it takes a lot of skill. I never dared
to braze. One has to work very accurate, and I have not the patience.
Sometimes I had to bridgeover 10 mm wide gaps through welding.

Patience, yes. I like the buddish approach though. Very meditative time in the workshop that way - you have to do a bit of thinking before building.

I don't have access to a TIG or MIG.

Don´t you work at the Leitra workshop?

Yes, an old MIG in a corner is missing both wire and CO2. C.G. has his frameparts made at Bjällby, and only does brazing himself. We thought about bringing it to life, but it's a bit of an investment for us (only 2-3 guys who'd use it)

I look forward to the day when i arrive at
the trainstation and 5 minutes later take of with just luggage and
don't need to argue with the train staff about the looks or length
of my bike.


The flevebike steering pivot is a great solution for quickly
separating the front part. If you have attached gear-levers and front
brake lever to the front
part you won´t even have to separate cables.

Hoping to hear from you soon ... 

Sorry for the wait - I'm in a job change situation.
