I feel like I might as well as go custom for an extra £100 and go for a full 70-80mm offset which will give me 40-30mm trail (with 35mm tyres and my current head tube angle). It also has the advantage I won't be shortening the fork and adjusting the rest of the geometry at all. I need forward facing eyelets for my rack too, which the Thorn doesn't have.
Electra were selling a cheap ($50 on sale) 80mm offset fork, with a variety of options. All sold out now with no plans to produce any more. Would have been a cheaper way to experiment.
