Greg,
Two steering pivots - one python-like for speeds upto 35 km/h and
the other for riding with high speed downhill, both alternately
lockable.
This idea outclasses even my wildest imaginations!
Leaving aside the weight problem, this idea sure is worth
some more brain storming. I will think over it the next
days.
BTW. Do you know Michael Rienstra´s plans to build
a four-bar-linkage steering pivot python:

It uses 4 pivots in a trapezoid arrangement to create a virtual
steering pivot located at the intersection point of the two moveable
arms.
If this virtual pivot goes right through the front wheel axle,
steering torque might be minimized and positive trail can
be achieved.
Cheers,
Jürgen.
