I have a custom steel bike. Given my height (5') it was impossible for me to find a gravel/CX bike for my size and, being somewhat new to the world of bike geometry, I trusted my builder's design. However, people often mention how much offset my fork has (Framebuilder said this was to avoid toe overlap in a very small frame). Will this be a problem if I want to use a different fork? (I wanted to upgrade to a carbon fork, eventually). I'm assuming there *will* be toe overlap, but how will handling be affected?
Here's the original diagram from before it was made and an actual pic of the bike.
HT Angle is 69º.

Thanks in advance for any insight (:
