[python] Re: Svar: Knirps Faltliegerad
The bottom bracket of the Knirps seems a bit too high. That
might cause
instability due to wheelflop. However I am always careful
with
statements about rideability, especially from novices: Most
people will
consider every center steered bike unrideable after their
first tries.
