Hi DJ,
to explain some what i have been babeling about,
some sketch and model in cardboard
you just re-invented the 4-bar-linkage steering system,
that Michael Rienstra from California proposed about one
year ago.
Michael even built a prototype that he called "Vython":

Later he run out of time, energy, money or motivation and so
we do not know the result of his experiments. Hope he did
survive the test ridings ;-)
The virtual steering pivot surely would produce positive trail,
resulting in a Tom Traylor style geometry. The steering system
to me seems quite complex and vulnerable.
Also I am still wondering if a pivot axis that is not going
through the hips causes steering/pedalling perturbances.
Cheers,
Jürgen.
