[python] Re: brazing aluminum ??

Brian, If I were you I'd find a freind who knows how to weld steal, a mig 
welder with gas is the best way to go but oxy-seteleen is cheeper, you can make 
a light bike out of steel, just choose you metal cearfully, You can use a lot 
thinner meatel with steel than you can with aluminum, What I do with my 
Brother-in-law is cut,sand, prep. every thing, put it all in place, all he has 
to do is weld, that way I'm not wasting much of his time, i clean it all up 
after too-& his tool/work area ,,  I'm going to start on my first python vary 
soon, I'll post the pictures/procedures after,   I'm makeing a 'el-chepo' 
version , Wall-Mart is selling a 26" men's mt. bike , 18 speed, for $39.99  
can't beat that price, That's where I'll start,  Have a good x-mass.  Rick in 
CA.

Thanks for the input.
I'm a long time cyclist ....... well over 100,000 miles in 70 years and 
15,000 in the past 4 on a Actionbent understeer recumbent........ which 
serves my purposes superbly ....... but for no good reason i hanker for 
a python ....... and with limited workshop and zero welding experience 
I am making futile ventures into dreaming of a practical way to get a 
python up and running.
Whatever I'm very grateful for your positive note
Warmest regards
Brian
