Just a suggestion (not sure what is/isn't trendy, but this is from a practical point of view), why not braze some 4 bolt Magura mounts to a pair of steel forks an run a Magura HS33 on the front with a modified, shorter lever blade? It would be more efficient, not a big job, pretty unique (not seen it on a road bike before), the lever would be much easier to pull and the brake would be really efficient.
If might try it myself if I decide to go back to running a front brake. If anyone wants to give it a go themselves, I might be able to help them out with various bits and pieces.
