Nope - it's a very late [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/have-we-done-this-what-air-pressure-in-my-tyres-for-this-trail ]Groundhog Day[/url] prank.
A solution to a problem that never existed.
That there is one mans folly.
Was just about to post the same thing myself! Crazy.
I reckon there really could be a market for the adjustable stem what I invented!

I suppose the principal is a good one, some 4X4, such as the racing Paris-Dakar ones run a similar system, but the weight and expense would stop anyone using it.
What we actually need isn't height adjusting seatposts and pressure adjusting tyres, it's top-tube length adjusting frames. Imagine a frame large enough to pedal efficiently, with nice sharp sterring when you want it, then it shrinks enough to be "flickable" with slacker geometry for downhills.
Bionicon anybody? Hmmm, on your handlebar you could have two switches to change gear, one to adjust your seat post, another the front-rear suspension balance, and now two for tyre pressures. More fiddle less riding me thinks. Great for post ride excuses though......
Yes, but the TT has to shrink more than the downtube to achieve a slcaker head angle...
Adjustable frame length? I bring you the Klein Mantra...... Oh dear.

And its such a discreet looking system as well.
There's going to be no space left on those bars
Left brake , rear tyre, dropper post, front dérailleur , rear dérailleur, front tyre, front shock lockout, front brake !!!!!!!!
Just plug it in to your GPS. No need for levers just pre-program the changes on your planned route.
