[python] Re: frame finished

Pics... I'm taking my pictures today!  The sky is absolutely blue and a
beautiful day was born. A typical autumn day here in Brazil... A holiday of
course! All my homebuilts (except the first, the wooden recumbent) were
built without suspension. I believe that a large travel undamped suspension
is a danger itself. A short travel suspension rises the bicycle weight and
isn't so effective in street holes (we have lots of them here...)

Have a nice day!
