Hello! I built my first recumbent bike - yes it's a python. Reading the mailinglist for some years I finaly built one of my own. Thank you all for sharing your experience and ideas even for those "only readers". For me it's the first time trying to ride a recumbent (I'm allready able to ride 10 m without hand support - sometimes ;) ). So I choosed the low input version and built the python from 2 old bikes. The rear wheel with the former front fork could be assembled. As you can see on the pictures, I still have some work to too (brakes, gear shifting, cut the chain, painting). I'm very happy with my work and looking forward to ride on puplic roads (hopefully next summer). But for now I have to be patient because the bike is on my parents home. Some construction details: Pivot Angly 65° Seat Height 30cm BB-Seat Difference 27cm Ground Clearance 9cm I forgot meassuring the weight, but it's not so lightly.
