[python] Re: Question for the experts

The way I am envisioning this is as follows.

1) Rear wheel drive.
2) Standard Tadpole boom setup
3) The front Cross bar of the tadpole will be completely horizontal with the standard python steering frame joints on the outer ends of the cross bar.
4) Standard Python front sections using a front wheel instead of a rear wheel.
5) Where the bottom brackets on a python normally is, having a linkage join the two python booms together.
6) some type of handle bars to allow the rider to induce the lean for the steering.

The purpose of this is to design is as follows:

1) A self centering trike that can be the base platform for a velomobile.
2) It will allow the use of standard bicycle parts without relying on special hubs for the front wheels.
3) Allow higher gearing using as 26" rear wheel and using 16" or 20" front wheels with disk brakes.
4) If building a velomobile the python frame joints could be built into the faring design for the front wheel mounts and to total encase the front wheels for aerodynamics.

If someone is good with a sketchup I can try to provide further details if need be to help developing the plans.
