You say that like CF forks are a bad thing.
The Bianchi's actually ride very nicely. And Lemond makes a frame with a steel/carbon mix - the top half is CF and the bottom half is steel. It rides VERY well, and it is the cat's whiskers for heavier riders.
Also, Serrota offers a steel bike made out of Columbus tubes - although their niche seems to be Ti.
Oh, and to our friend mattface - you have some good points to make. But (and maybe I'm seeing something that isn't there), your tone seems a bit......
uncivil. We're all friends here, and uneeded contentiousness isn't necessary.
Pretty bike at the other end of you sig link, BTW......
