Low Trail (High Offset) fork converstion

Soma sells this fork which has a relatively high offset @ 65mm:

Champs Élysées Low Trail Touring Fork | SOMA Fabrications

It states "It can also be used to convert some frames depending on headtube angles to have a front load bias ".

Anybody have any idea on what a proper HT angle would be? Thinking of trying it on my Double Cross @ 72 deg. I notice the Rando frame they sell is @ 73 degrees, so would imagine the DC would come close to that 73 deg number after the conversion.

I've emailed Soma but haven't gotten a response.

Thanks
