No, because it's Campagnoooloooooo. Mind you, I do need to tighten the cones on the rear wheel. After two years.

'06 R1000 CAAD8 (Ultegra) here. Nothing fancy (or expensive), but I've been very happy with it. Stiff & lightweight aluminum frame. I'm not convinced carbon is the way to go.

2013 Trek Domane 4.5 (carbon)

Upgraded with:
Fizik Alliante saddle
Ritchie Superlogic Logic II carbon handlebars and LizardSkin 3.2 bar tape
Bontrager RXL stem
Shimano Ultegra SPD-SL pedals (using SiDi Wire Carbon Vent shoes)
Continental Grand Prix 4Season tires

As of today I have ridden 2370 miles this year, including two centuries last month, which puts me on pace to ride 5K miles this year, although I'll probably be closer to 4K,depending on weather in November and December.

This is an older picture. I have since changed the Fizik saddle to the same model with different finish, and changed the SPD trail pedals to the Ultegra pedals mentioned above. The stem is different now too.

Ok. I'm now I'm convinced!

Not sure what kind of riding or roads you will be riding on, but the Cervelo RS models might be more forgiving on not so smooth roads.

Soloist as well with SRAM Red. Awesome bike, but can be a bit punishing beyond 40 miles with TX roads. Doing it again, would give more thought to the RS.

I think Specialized makes great bikes. My road bike is the Tarmac.

As a non-biker who took an 18 mile ride yesterday, you guys now have my undying respect.

I do a lot of rides over 40 miles. That's why I like an endurance design like the Trek Domane.

I plan to ride this the next two years. Then, after I've put about 10K+ miles on it, I will get something along the lines of a Trek Project One Domane 6 series, with Ultegra Di2, or whatever the equivalent is at that point.
