Hello list,
as I met with Jürgen recently talking about the python, I'm thinking
about
building a first prototype out out wood to prevent excessive metal
work,
using mainly OSB (oriented strand board, Grobspanplatten). Wheelmount
may
be made out of 4mm steel, the seat base would be part of side plates.
Unfortunately I have no idea of how to make the steering pivot - any
ideas?
Very interesting question ........ after a little thought ......... how
about using the bottom bracket of a junk bike with both cranks pointing
in the same direction. These would be bonded to the wooden under
skeleton with much carbon fiber tape and epoxy.
Similarly the cylindrical body of the bottom bracket could be bonded to
the wooden fork leading to the pedal crank, which too might be bonded
with carbon fiber tape and epoxy.
There are many of us with some carpentry skills but no welding
experience nor the equipment.
Please let all know what progress you eventually make
Regards to all .......... bb in the USA
