I just looked at all the frame info, and that is an amazing collection of information! But I didn't see fork blade length. Rake is there, as are frame tube lengths and angles. Is one of your fork blades good enough to be measured?

To convert the geometry of my Trek 610 to that of a Fuji America, Boxdog Pelican, or Boulder Randonneur, I'm having a CrMo fork made for it by a local framebuilder. The price is going to be way lower than some of the well-known builders. I didn't find anything suitable out on the market, either. He's designing the fork to hold the frame level, give me 65 mm rake, and clear 32 mm with fenders. Ultimately it will be what it will be, but those are the targets. Details privately if you want to explore that.

I'd be very suspect of your frame integrity due to that unfortunate head-area bend, even as small as it is. Is there someone local who can help you assess it? Or can you post pics here and let us advise you?
