BTW, any 700c disc frame will take 650b with big tyres and mudguard, so your option is pretty good (especially the lower BB).

e.g. Kaffenback 2 with 650b easily, £150 as we speak.

Sweet, cheers for the advice :)

Croix is definitely leading the way. With the 56mm offset Thorn fork, I think the trail would end up at around 59mm - sound ok for front loading?

That's about normal, smaller frame have a much slacker head angle, so would required fork with even more offset.

Bear in mind current model Croix de Fer have CX-length fork (395mmish) whether the old one mate with the Thorn fork length pretty well.
