Hi Matthias,
Thank you. Yeah, simplicity is the target with this design.
There has been one such penny farthing python built:

I contacted the guy. He was nice, but I didn't get too much information.
I'll let you know how my python turns out.
Best, Tiha

The implementation of the adjustable pivot is a simple but great idea! I
haven't seen it elsewhere so far.
About the direct drive, I've been thinking about it a lot and it has been
discussed on this list a very long time ago. But I think, so far no one has
built a direct drive python, at least not to my knowledge, so I am very
much looking forward to hearing about your riding experience. Especially
about the turning behavior.

Hi All,
This is the new Python I am building. It will have a direct drive on the
front wheel like a penny farthing.
The interesting part for me is the adjustable pivot to find the best
pivot angle for this beast. Will see how it works out, hopefully soon.
Hope to give you ideas!
Cheers,
Tiha
