The fork on the fratellos is a condor pioggia. If you're really keen on that fork you should just give condor a ring and see what they have or could recommend, better still go in person if you're in London.
Other notable "mid-reach" rim brake forks would be the whiskey no.7 rd+ (which I think were used on all city Mr. Pinks). The new ritchey wcs also has larger clearance 30ish? Both these are quite expensive.
Could also run a larger tyre in the rear and smaller at front? Most of the comfort will come from the rear tyre anyway. Can always have thicker bar tape.
Also someone was selling some kinesis dc07 forks in classifieds which seems to fit the bill. Could try looking for another pair or putting up a wanted ad for something similar?
