If their geo chart is right, it's curious that the HTA for the medium is 73 degrees, which with a 50mm fork rake would be just what I'd look for, with a trail of 55mm. The larger sizes drop to a HTA of 72, raising trail/flop to 61/18mm.

The frame size is a medium. I might have to play with a geo calculator to see how different options would affect trail and flop in order to keep things atleast close to similar.

Since you mention it being a budget focused fork, here are some that arent $500 or ENVE priced...
-Tapered steerer
State Bicycle - $300 45mm offset, 396mm A-C
Columbus Futura - $385 47mm offset, 385mm A-C
Whisky No9 CXLR - $400 45mm offset, 395mm A-C
Whisky No9 Road+ - $407 51mm offset, 383mm A-C
If you end up wanting to spend 500+, there is the Wilde Waypoint fork. Wilde is owned by the guy that started AllCity.
Tapered- $525, 49mm offset, 398mm A-C
straight - $500, 49mm offset, 398mm A-C
Personally, I would email Fairlight and see when their Anraed 3.0 is back in stock.
$470, 45mm rake, 381mm A-C
ETA- Genesis has a full carbon straight steerer fork.

$438, 50mm rake, 397.5 A-C, weighs 400g |
Wow thanks! I used to have a strael 2.0 and wouldn't be doing this build at all if I had a 3.0 instead. That fork looks great. Honestly the best of the lot is that genesis fork. It would likely have been perfect but a lot of these are out of what I want to budget for the build so I'm going to look on the used market when I figure out what I need.

There's an idea!
That one's unfortunately heavier than I'd want.
Their road fork and the 505 might actually work though!
