Hi, as requested hereby the pictures. dimensions length = 165 cm wheelbase = 105 cm width = 65 cm pivot angle = 68 degrees frontwheel= 20 inch rearwheels = 24 inch (wheelchair) turningcircle = 450 cm ground clearance = 12 cm main tube = 35x35x1,5 fronttubing = 30x10x1,5 gearing = Nexus 7 speed nothing fancy, just a trike rear-end clamped to a bike rear-end. Used a diabolo (rubber damper) for stability (works fine) on both the bike and trike. Only need some fenders in this wet, windy weather (it's Fall in Holland!) see also: //www.freelists.org/archives/python/04-2006/msg00011.html still like the trike over the bike (i always have been a kind of lazy one, just the effort needed. Gues that;s why i like recumbents so much.). any questions? just asked and i will try to answer them to my best knowledge. regards, henk. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Sparks" <spider@xxxxxxxx> To: <python@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, December 01, 2006 2:07 AM Subject: [python] Re: Suspension > I like this very much.
