[python] Re: hi from a newbie

Hello Stephan,

I would like to build a 26" python for me. 

Check your inseam (Innenbeinlänge): it should be 84 cm minimum.
26" is great, because you can use normal MTB parts and gearing.

One thing is fact by now: My python will be painted snake-green, like "Morelia viridis" ;-) 

Yeah - the Green Tree Python: It's a beauty!

Maybe i should first build a prototype myself and let the final version be welded by an expert ?

It's always fun to learn welding. As the python is very low, it is inherently
save, when the frame cracks. A special safety feature is that you can never
go faster than your riding skills permit - vice versa with all other bikes.

Is it a good idea to plan all Frame-Parts about 10mm longer to have more material for corrections ? 

Not really ;-) When welding you don`t have to be too precise
(I apologize Mr. Nobuo) comparing to brazing. You can always fill
gaps with material.

Is a cheap El-Hand-Welder ok for the first prototypes ? 

You mean the welding with sticks? Not the best, but for trying
it should do.

BTW: My Wife already declared me to be completely mad. Aren´t there more important things to do ??? 

See the answer to David Ziehr's posting ;-)

Schöne Grüße,
Jürgen.
