Hmm, would the ride really be too weird with the Surly fork? It's the only thing I could find that has enough mounts - 3 pack specifically, could kind of get away with a central low rider and mudguard mount, but really not ideal. There doesn't seem to be anything else between 400 (too short) and 485 (too long). The head angle is already quite steep, 72° from measuring the photo upthread, which is about how the frame would sit with a ~450mm fork. I also measured the reach and it's looking like I'll need about a 60mm stem which I assume would help keep the handling a bit snappy.
Thanks for the heads up re: crank clearance! I've got a set of road cranks I can check with so I'll do that when I get the chance. They're currently on the pub bike, whose inadequacies as a gravel bike also contributed to this project :D
