Non-carbon fork road bikes?

[Buster]

Thanks everyone! I'm going to test ride some bikes this weekend to see what I like...

My husband is starting to come around on the carbon fork, although he remains unconvinced (and him snapping a carbon oar at rowing practice 2 days ago hasn't helped this discussion!)...

Having seen people get concussions from "catching a crab", I'm pretty sure the forces that oars are subjected to when they get caught in the water and you're moving fast are much different and greater than any forces your fork would be subject to unless you were to have a major crash (which could bend steel too).

I admit it, I just like the way steel forks look I have not ridden carbon or carbon fork enough to know the difference though I would like to try for comparison. Yes, I love the ride of steel but also I'm just shallow and vain , I love the way it looks.

There are a couple pictures of my steel bike here:
