[python] Re: Python trike ideas

Hello Juergen and everybody else...
I made this drawing (not to scale) of a Python-type trike. I had the idea of 
using two forks for the back wheels. Do you think that will work? The 
center "hinge" (?) is low to get the pendulum effect. But I copied the 
Hipparion "outrigger" because there is no interference of the chain-line with 
the stays.
I lack the necessary English bike vocabulary...
The drawing is not to scale, obviously.
Your opinions would be most welcome!
Stefan
