I too have built and used a TT bike. Much easier to learn to ride than the
python. I never tried riding mine "no hands" but it only requires a very
light touch on the handle bars. The bars oscillate slightly when pedalling
but it is no problem to ride the bike and keep it on line. The feeling of
riding mine is not as nice as the python since it is higher and the seat is
more upright. I may build another low one similar to Laurent's one of these
days. Next on my list is a trike converrsion for my python using parts from
other projects.
