Cletus, There are no options from Bacchetta for the Giro fork at this time, sorry. The bike was designed around the need to accommodate fat tires and fenders ...
... fenders ... to hear ... I have had w RANS Stratus with a 20" fork. Also a Lightning P-38. The forks on these all accomodate wide (37mm) tires and fenders....
Cletus, I thought that might be the case with the Chris king hub. I just remembered that Kelvin Clark has a very nice steel fork made for the MC2 that might do...

You can get away with thinner seat pads if you recline. Be sure to recline as far as you feel comfortable to spread your weight out over the mesh and seat pan....

Don, I don't see any problems with the tire/rim combination you plan to use. My Strada Gasato has Velocity Aerohead rims, which I think have the same width....
