I have a Soma Double Cross. I was lucky to find a new fork taken off a Ridley. That Ridley carbon fiber fork is better than any steel fork.
However, I will say the the lugged steel on my vintage road bike is better than the lighter and very flexy fork I had on a new road bike. That fork was spooky at speed.
Nothing wrong with a nice steel fork on a sport style steel road bike.
