[python] Re: pix Columbus python coiled and uncoiled

Is there any consensus on the best pivot angle? 

I'm about to commit to 67deg which I had thought was optimum and now I'm
hearing references to 70 deg a lot. Without any chance of a comparison ride
I have to go on hearsay so while I still have to chance to change what do
you all say here. :-)

Daryl - BTW Frank excellent bike although I must admit I was startled (for a
low-caffeine second) as on the last picture I thought you had developed, and
were auditioning, a bizarre new child seat for the enhancement page. :-D

I went from 64 to 70 deg. and found a big difference and it appears that our
dimensions are very similar. With 64 I found a lot of wheel flop for a lot
less direction change and my legs did a lot of going left-right. It also had
a much larger turn radius. After I re-welded to 70 I could immediately ride
and turn in the alley!
