Everyone here has made some good suggestions. The fact is that unless you are buying an entry level bike, touring bike, or some of cyclocross bikes... most will come with a carbon fork. With that said, you could always swap out the fork(sell the carbon fork), but there are bikes out there without carbon. What exactly are you looking for? KHS offers a Flite 220 w/o a carbon fork, a touring bike the TR-101, and Redline also offers a couple of their cyclocross bikes without carbon forks.(Conquest)
If you are looking for something custom, look at Lunacycles.. she does a wonderful job and you'll get everything that YOU want!

Buster, try some bikes with carbon forks and some with steel forks and see which you like better. That's the best advice.
(I've had no trouble with my carbon fork on one bike, and my other two bikes each have steel forks).
