Many consider axle to crown seat distance an important spec too. Have you tried your LBS and search engined it on line already? Andy

sorry I’m a bit of a novice to all this. I copied and pasted the specs from the website i bought it from. Not sure what you mean by LBS but I have been searching using the specs in the original post.

Soma has one that will work. It has a bit more rake, but that shouldn't be a huge problem. 1 1/8" steerer and QR dropouts make it kind of a Unicorn in the current tapered steerer/thru axle market.

You can also consider any number of high quality chrome-moly steel forks, such as available from Soma, Surly, and others. Something like a Disc Trucker fork would probably work well. It'll be heavier than a carbon fork for sure, but also a third the price.

Thanks and sorry about that!
Sorry! Motobecane Omni Strada Sport
Alibaba actually just sent me the incorrect fork. Supposedly they are going to have a replacement made but we shall see.
