[python] Re: minimum inseam

Hoi

Okay, so the FWA-BB distance is a not a problem because you could just
put the BB higher, possibly rising the seat too if otherwise the
difference seat-BB height is getting to large to be comfortable.

There is an article by Bert Hoge, who did energy measurements on
recumbents and also measured seat-BB differences aspect of it (too low
or too heigh is bad from aero aspect):

    http://www.ligfiets.net/redactie/meetligfietsengels.pdf

He talks about +15cm -> +25cm ideal, when the seat is reclined at
21degrees. Usually seats are a little more upright (mine is at
30degrees) and so you could go a little higher.
