I wouldn't count on the Nashbar fork being made of steel. Mine was made of aluminum! I'm currently using the Nashbar touring frame with their Carbon Fiber cyclocross fork. It works well, but I don't use a front rack. The Nashbar Disc/V-Brake Compatible Road Fork might also work, though I'd want to know the rake and axle to crown race distance before buying. As others have mentioned, the LHT fork may also work.
If you buy the Nashbar frame, you could probably have a custom fork built and still spend less than any of the other options would cost...
