Still doing rough sketches of ideas for my Flavo (20/20) build. Not
going to have it separate at the pivot. Instead, maybe have the rear
swingarm fold up underneath the bike coming up alongside the front
wheel. Also have the seat and part of its rear brace `unlock' and fold
forward to sit flat above the main tube. Just as a Bike Friday is
designed. http://www.bikefriday.com/
Yet another geometry question. The FlavoFanClub site says the rough
plans of the 20/20 are of historical value only because of `technical
imperfections' and the bike has been completely changed. Side by side
pics of an 80s, 90s and 2000+ models don't seem to show any difference
in the basic frame geometry.
I ask because the plans show the steering pivot to be 45º. However
the geometry page on the Python site http://www.python-
lowracer.de/geometry.html says that a Flavobike's steering pivot is
40º. Is this what's changed or is Jürgen wrong? Asking those truly in
the know, which is correct on the latest model?
