This bike is so simple and elegant. I'm sure it won't be long before someone makes a sub 10kg python. A question about the rear suspension: do I understand correctly that the smaller tube only has 5-6 mm of freedom? What's the possible travel of the rear wheel then? I'm curious about Eduardo's experiment with a passive suspension. (PICS, PICS !!) Jürgen, can you compare speed & comfort to 'classic' fixed bottom bracket bikes? I wonder how much energy, if any, it takes to keep your balance. There's an experienced Flevo Racer rider in our recumbent group and it certainly doesn't slow him down, so I guess it's not a big deal. Might be a surprising question, but after a day's ride on the trike I feel the difference of not having this little brain zone working. And since I ride recumbents because I'm too restless to meditate, it matters :-) Quite mindless tonight after a great speed ride in the Alleweder, Brecht - Not making it to Spezi this year. > -----Original Message----- > From: python-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:python-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jürgen Mages > Sent: donderdag 8 april 2004 21:43 > To: python@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [python] Re: frame finished > > > Eduardo, > > I am not sure until now. > > The curve down solution looks much better. > > Unfortunately the dropouts show upwards, which > might be unsave.
