I've got an itch to build an E-stay bike again, this time with a longer fork like the Surly Big Dummy with a 3" tyre. The Big Dummy has an a to c length 425 mm, which doesn't seem all that much longer than a standard early 90s rigid fork (385mm?), but is it safe to fit a fork this long to a frame that's designed for a 385 fork? It won't rip the head tube off mid-ride, or something like that?
