You can't go wrong with the Tarmac. Used by a lot of the pros, so that says something. Also see them alot in amature racing.

specialized alloy frames are excellent, as above cant go wrong. you get a lot for your money on the bike equipment wise. alloy or carbon? the choice is yours but bear in mind carbon will almost certainly shatter and be a write off in a first or second crash god forbid if yo uhave one so bear in mind some of the EM2 or scandium/7046 are as light as carbon frames and a whole lot more robust when it comes to knocks etc....Inverse Racing UK / Bikefood
