Have you discovered the "tripod fold" - Fold down the "handlepost" but don't bother adjusting the angled stem.
Point the right pedal to about 4 o'clock and open out the propstand.
Fold in half. The bike will quite happily balance on the pedal, propstand and rear wheel. The front end of the bike is kept folded by gravity (a velcro strap may help).
It isn't the most compact but it is quick and will be adequate on many occasions.

You know, I'd never spotted that one. It'll be dead handy; one weakness of the TR is its poor folded stability - this fold seems to solve it.
On Sunday my colleague had his stem come loose. This does look like a nice solution. I'll forward him the URLs. Is that just a vanilla seatpost QR?
The device for adjusting the angle of the stem is a seatpost QR.
The device for adjusting the height of the steerer is the original component (and in fact does not serve to adjust the steerer height - it simply stops the steerer from falling out when folded)

It was teh one for adjusting the angle that came loose.
