And when you have all the figures, you can confuse yourself further with this lovely link;

Here, http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/tech/bikes/24128/2/fixed-bikes.html , it says your fork rake is 43mm, and "rake" is "offset";
"Rake
The "rake" or "offset" of a fork is the distance between the wheel axle and the extension of the steering axis. This may be accomplished by bending the fork blades, or by attaching the fork ends to the front of the blades, or by tilting the blades where they attach to the crown.
Rake is one of the three factors that affect the trail of the bicycle, which has a considerable influence on the handling qualities.
A fork which is curved forward at the bottom also adds a small degree of suspension compared with one that is not, by acting as a leaf spring. "
