1 You have to measure. I expect both are 1-1/8" but be sure to check.
2. It seems you do have enough steerer length.
3. Ask Soma what the recommended AtoC dimension for their frame and measure yours.
4. Same thing. Ask Soma. Most road forks have 42 to 45 mm of rake with 43 mm being the most common.
Well discussed. Good summary of the situation.
