Hi,
my 28" Python starred out with full, front and rear suspension, but I abandoned the front suspension after the first front part construction proved to weak. The main reason I abandoned the front suspension on the second try was that it also showed strong interference with pedaling, which also took a lot of power. The rotation point under the seat, at the bottom level of the pivot was obviously to low and out of the line of force.

The rotationpoint should be located either ininfinit (which is the case in your solution) or in the line of force (somewhat above the line made by seat -> front BB ). The solution of László does not do that. I would expect it to hop when pedalling.

Yep, and in the final version of this nice bike, László has abandoned the front wheel suspension:
