  Truss forks have been around for ever. I couldn't possibly say if these are any good, but all steel disc forks are compromised in some way anyway, I don't see why these would be any worse.

  Yes and no. I have a Feather Popular razor (the plastic £8 one off Ebay everyone should start with) and the angle is very "safe". As such it makes the use of their sharp blades much more friendlier.

  I had the same requirements and bought an early 60s British bike (Soens) . It is designed for 27" wheels with mudguards, so with 700c the clearance should be good for a 32mm tyre. It has horizontal dropouts for chain tension, and no unsightly hanger either. It was also really cheap on eBay, you just need the time to find one.
