Hi Jürgen and all,

Finally finished my bike mostly. It has a 120 cm wheelbase, 65 degrees
pivot angle (intended it to be 65degr, but need to measure it to have an
exact value), 2 x 20" wheels, detachable pivot, adjustable seat angle,
3-speed hub gear with coaster brake.

It weighs now 11.45 kg, will add some sort of steering rod and a rear
brake, but I don't expect it to be more than 13 kg. Could have come out it
even lighter if using thinner tubing (this is 1.5 mm wall thickness SS
tubing I had left from other projects and used it up now).

Will make some detailed pics of the parts and upload them to a picasa
album, but here are 2 pics for now:

Just tried it in my garage, and was surprised that I was able to ride it
for approx. 8 m at the first try. Will take it to town to a large empty
parking lot and see how I can handle it. Looks very promising for now
though.

All the best and thank you for all.

Tiha
