All of the above is 100% true.

Nothing wrong with that exact Hylix fork, but I have 2 remarks:
1. It has an integrated crown race. Combined with headsets like CK that leaves an awfully big gap between the fork crown and bottom bearing.
2. The fork crown is too small to route your front brake hose through the steerer and crown towards the calliper. So your front brake will have to go partly outside.
The Hylix fork is on this build: https://lfgss.microcosm.app/api/v1/files/9a5c81eefd13548c2ba186e64a2a7410b7846191.jpeg

What seatpost is this? I've been looking for something like this for ages (it's very slightly setback, right?).

It's an Uno seatpost bought off eBay. But the original listing is gone, had the description "gobike88 UNO Light Weight Alloy 7075 Seatpost, 27.2 x 350mm, 255g, Black, F53" Cost me £44.

The Syntace P6 is like this as well if you want something fancier. It comes in both aluminium and carbon.
