(alignment is crucial)
though a QR Post clamp and making the other portion, telescope, also can and has been done.

British Modifier SP has even put a suspension post as an upper portion, /handle bar clamp.
ok, my head is willing to cooperate today so I understand at least this part of your suggestion.
Your first suggestion that I quoted here is almost the same as mine in my first comment to your post.
The black and white B I like, this is what I did to mine but I have not yet managed to find a good quality stem with the right profile.
I`d like to buy a stem like the black one plse!! Mine is sticking out too much and poking into the spokes at the moment.
I can see from the photo his stem is insertet (lowered) quite a lot when folded, I may need to look further into that. Also want the stem to be alu for weight reasons. I have played with inserting a seatpost w a quill stem on top but I want a cleaner look and low weight, like the black/white one.
I have seen pictures of similar solutions with suspension posts. Not sure if I want the extra weight but I like the profile of those posts also.
