Magic, I can ride it on first trial :) Ground clearance also improved, but seat angle became a little too upright ~40 deg to stop me from sliding off forward. I can also push it forward by the headrest. Perhaps this is a good objective test for ride-ability, independent of hip coordination... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yBjSGL_pd8 Vi ________________________________ From: Vi Vuong <vi_vuong@xxxxxxxxx> To: "python@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <python@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tue, March 15, 2011 6:26:48 AM Subject: [python] Re: Cool handlebar for 48deg 20in OK, skip the cool handle for now. A quick change I can try is to flip the back wheel upside down, which should lift the whole bike by 12 deg, closer to the Pythoon. I don't want to cut the beam just for this configuration, so perhaps 2 wheels in the back with very narrow track to adjust wheel base, and also pivot angle...
