Dear Olaf, Jurgen, Martin (etc. in random order),
first let me explain that it never was my intention to decrease the
value of the python-design in favor off the Flevo. I like both
designs. As earlier told i like to combine the positive aspects
from different designs (f.i.using a diabolo rubber on the python;
it helps a lot in keeping a straight line when riding and increases
the self-centering aspect).
I can only speak for myself but I have not taken your posting as an
assault on the python. Au contraire - since my interest lies in
centre steered bikes all flavours are interesting. Centre steered
recumbents are a niche within a niche so to speak. There are few
riders, few bike models and few experiences compared to other
branches of the recumbent scene. This list together with the Flevo
list are the only two places that I know of which exclusively deal
with centre steered recumbents. We need all the input and all the
enthusiasm we can get in order to develop this unique type of bike
that can be so rewarding to ride.
Now, for the "FleThon", as you called it, i mentioned this model as
an example of a different Flevotype, maybe an evoluated one. I also
give my thanks to Jan Brandse, he is the originale designer off
this model!
And, yes i would love to give some comment about riding the Flevo,
Python and the FleThon, but in riding the last one i just do yet
have way to little experience (the bike is just finished), i just
need more excercise and feel-good-and-save-riding moments.
I will wait anxiously.

As also earlier mentioned it switching form one bike to another
takes a certain amount of time before you feel comfortable again on
that bike.
So, be patience and soon i will give my view in riding experience
caused by a positive respectively a negative trail on a low centre
steered bike!
I just hope the wheather will improve a lot, it is just raining
pigs and sheeps (.those are my patts, instead off the usual,
conventional cats and dogs).
Greetings and regards,
henk.
