I have the AutoCad 14 drawing, known from my website. If someone is interested, I can upload it. Either zipped DXF format or zipped DWG format is available. As it is only a design study, the dimensions are not perfectly in scale. > My inseam is 85cm; that means I should go for 26 inch tires, right? Mine is 86 cm (barefoot). 26" is no problem for you. As my python is 1 cm too short for me, you can choose the same dimensions as shown in the attached file. wheelbase 129 cm seat height 31 cm steering angle 67 ° BB - FW axle 41 cm BB - edge of seat 73 cm > How far should the crank center be from the wheel center to avoid > kollisions with the derailleur? 41 cm with the standard 170 mm cranks. > Is it a good idea to use non-straight crank arms like the ridiculous > "drawing" below to get the feet further away from the derailleur? Most of the modern cranks are bent and it is good to use them. Regards from Jürgen.
