You can always drill the hole yourself if you want. I drilled the carbon fork on my Fuji Track Pro, you just need the titanium bits.

Don't know about white, but here are some black options:
First two are UK builders:
Planet-x, who I think have distribution in the US, make a very nice black carbon track fork (that comes drilled):

Nelson make a very nice black track fork which is drilled and doesn't have logos:

Picture here:

Wound-up forks are nice (depends if you like their graphics) and make a good track/road hybrid fork that can be used for racing:

But one thing is definite, if you can get 'em in the UK with easy, then there has to be a ton of US based options.

How do I go about drilling the fork without ruining it's structural integrity?
