If you decide the fork is too iffy, don't abandon the bike (unless you want to, of course) until you check out aftermarket forks. The only full carbon ones I'm personally familiar with are Columbus. They make a variety of beautiful options, and you might find one that is worth while to you. It would be black but a lot of times a black fork on a white bike has been a style statement. On the other hand, they're very easy to paint, either yourself or professionally. There are other options, just not that I'm familiar with.
