[python] The Python Patrick Introduced in February 2011

Hi Folks//

        This is my first post.  Hope I get it correct.  I currently ride an SWB 
'bent (HP Velo Street Machine).  Do a lot of hill riding with it.  Uphill is 
slow and downhill is fast.  Saw the Python and became interested - perhaps the 
short distance to the road while falling was attractive.  I've had my share of 
encounters with the road.  I wonder if Patrick could provide some updates and 
insight on his stainless Python?  

        o  How is it working out?  Are you satisfied with the design?  Have you 
modified the design?  

        o  Do you have any thoughts on load carrying capability?  Could it 
handle a 90 kg rider?  Is the design specific to rider weight?  

        o  How does it handle at higher velocities?  Say 50 - 70 kph downhill?  

        o  Do you have any thoughts on using disc brakes for this Python 
design?  Do you use the front brakes at all?  

        Any insight would be helpful.  I'm considering having a local (Seattle, 
WA US) stainless fabricator put the frame together.  Will probably stick with 
26" wheels.  

best regards, 


Bob
