Hi Frank, nice looking python. I like the idea of the asymmetric steering pivot.Did you tilt the pivot sideways to or is the steering axis parallel to the wheel?
Nice riding too!According to our existing python lore, you should experience PSI (Pedal Steering Interference) because the pivot axis is forward from the riders hips joints.

Interesting approach of yours: asymetric steering pivot - that is definitely new to us. How does it ride? The picasa photos can be seen, but the youtube link does not work. J��rgen.

Congratulations on your pythondesign. I like especially how you attached the rear suspension, but I'm also curious like J�rgen how your asymmetric steering will work. The bb-seat-distance will shorten while turning to the left and getting longer while turning to the right. I didn't managed to ride my python without a wheel chair as backpart. But I'm not a python rider to messure with and practical studies may destroy all my theories. Good luck and always a hand wide space between frame and ground ;0) Steffen ------------------------------ From: Patrick van Gompel<patrick_van_gompel@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [python] Re: New python Date: Fri, 23 Dec 2011 01:43:38 +0100 ������ �q������n��2��Z��az������{^��-�x�B��y�������"�����{��j��*.��������z�,���z���_����*.v�r�����}�-�)���+���X�z�^?+a�{-i������+�������+j���^��^z�����vj+z��jX�v�v�^z���������-����+&�����^~�'��������zf�y��q�^�('jwm��+��&�mm�+�x�Z�~)�����^j������g������n�����{^�'�q�!zz�v)���������j��rO�j��N��`�sm5�]��O���4�O����r���+a��{ r�'�Z����jy%�z-�������:��+a�������l�������Z-��e��h����"� ��m��,��)��h���y�b�����������~*������0j{m��h�*.�'���n�����^u����j������{)���n)��-����2�g��',����x��)jH����m���x�����^�+��w���^�)�z��jwm��j�,���z���_������l�g�����b����*'�����l������k�� (�W�r���N��Mz�M���8�������'M�-�xy���_�jw��m����>�������r���/���h�/�y�n� ------------------------------ End of python Digest V9 #180 ****************************
