Does his python trike tilt? The rear end looks rigid. The titlitng python trike I built handled fine. No handling or cornering difference from the two wheeled python. Your trike design is very cool and from personal experience, you really have to mess up a bike design BAD to make it unrideable. I think you should forge ahead with your original plan and if it doesn't work, THEN you can salvage the front end for a two wheel version. That's just me though :) | After Mark Schaaf voiced the concerns he had about the using the python | drive train on a tilting trike, Jetrike has been somewhat redesigned. | This has left me with the remnants of the Python drive train I had | already started constructing, so rather than let it go to waste, I have | designed a python frame to use it (Attached Photo). | | The plans on my web site http://jetrike.com/plans.html are only a | preview, I haven't finished drafting them up. It has a 20" front and a | 20" back, elastomer rear shock, M12 rod ends for the pivot and weighs in | at 6kg minus the seat. The specs are 1100 wheelbase, 60° pivot, 270mm | negative tail, 240mm seat height, 380mm BB height, 410mm BB-FWA. | | The thing I haven't had a response about is what the best sear angle | should be, I set it at 40° for now... any ideas? | | -h | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- ============================================================ This is the Python Mailinglist //www.freelists.org/list/python Listmaster: Jürgen Mages jmages@xxxxxx To unsubscribe send an empty mail to python-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the subject field. ============================================================
