Hiya, I will send this for Torben from Danmark, because he was not able to access our list: > I was just thinking...

I have had the same thought - I even "braindesigned" a triangular sled w. skaterwheels - the thought is to hold one in each hand, while learning to fly, err, not to fall over. Inline skates could be used, but I'd be afraid to strain the wrist. Oh, by the way, I'm building a 700c Python with a flevoaxel instead of a bottom bracket/crank. I'm using 30*10*1.5mm tubing for the front frame and maybe also for the rear fork. I don't trust a regular fork used this way. My goal is a light and fast Python with the lowest possible/practical seat height, and the seat very reclined compared to the first prototype. And when I've learned to fly :-) I have the sweetest carbon seat waiting for it :-) Regards, Torben ============================================================ This is the Python Mailinglist at freelists.org Listmaster: Juergen Mages jmages@xxxxxx ============================================================
