Hey,
After I had so much fun with my python I decided to make the experiment and
build a python for my 8 year old son.
The project is develpoping and has a couple of new features. Maybe you want to
look at it.
He is only 125 cm tall which gives a number of challanges (wheel size, front
part geometry). In particular the front part has to go slim towards the crank
as soon as possible iafter the drop outs, in order to allow space for the feet.
OK, he will get 155 mm crank levers. But still.
The bike is for 305 mm wheels. In front unsuspended, but there is a Big Apple
in 305. Rear suspended.

And for the steering pivot, I am trying something new. He weights only 25 kg
yet. So joining two U-profiles with a number of bushes and washers could do the
job.
If it works well, I will try it on a large phyton eventually.

A friend of mine will keep the files for some time on the server. But they will
be removed eventually.
I am very curious how my son is going to learn the python.
cheers
Thomas
