Hi Jurgen,
I think revising your construction instructions is a great idea.  However there 
is a certain historic value to the original perhaps you should just make a new 
simplified version?  I confess I haven't built my python yet but I have no 
desire to include a suspension.

Subject: [python] Rear Suspension

Hello Rod,

it is not a bad idea to leave out the rear suspension. Considering the mount of 
effort, weight and the possibility of failure it seems not really worth to 
include a rear suspension.

So, I am thinking of revising my building side:

http://www.python-lowracer.de/construction.html

The goal is, to simplify the building process and to save weight.

As I never rode unsuspended Pythons, I am curious to hear some experiences from 
you and other riders. Any cracks of the rear frame yet?

Cheers,
Jürgen.
