well if your looking for carbon, but don't want to compromise comfort on long rides, try a Specialized Roubaix. i've been looking lots lately and my mates have these and say they are great and i sat on one at the Cycle show and was quite impressed with the riding position.
firstly, they are carbon.
secondly, they have relaxed geometry (which basically means a more comfortable sitting position, handlebars slightly higher so you don't get neck ache etc)
thirdly, they have Zertz inserts (tiny shock absorbers in the forks) so they are great for long rides
fourthly, they have nice handlebars, the top of them is slightly flat so it's more comfortable for your hands.
(shame it doesn't come in pink tho because i'm stuck between choosing a Roubaix and a pink Pinarello!)
