Hello all,
I've almost completed my first Python, here is a picture of the beast.

The picture doesn't show allot of detail, i'll try to get more pictures if 
anyone wants them.
most of the parts to this bike came from my sons old MTB that was sitting on 
the side of my house gathering rust. Added two additional forks ( one for the 
rear and one for the center pivot ). used a sawsall to cut all the parts, 
brazed all the tubes together and used
an aluminum ladder and a carpenters square to align all the parts. The center 
pivot is the headset from the MTB turned upside down. Decided not to install a 
shock, to anxious to get the bike on the road! Today i've added  a seat stay to 
the rear of the frame and attached a crude seat ( plywood and Styrofoam ).
 
Quick details-- 
26" rear wheel, 24" front wheel
49" wheel base
weight- approx. 25lbs.
 
I should have this beast on the road in the next couple of  days ( wife 
permitting)
i'll update you all on the maiden ride.
 
keep'em low,
