Subject: NEED ADVICE/looking for a new road bike
I have been doing triathlons for a few years now and I am looking to get a new bike. I have looked at Specialized. I have found a 2013 Specialized Ruby C2 5km all carbon fiber. Not sure if this is a good choice or if it is better to get aluminum frame with carbon forks? Any help or suggestions is GREATLY appreciated.

I started riding this spring with the Carnac shoes on Look pedals (with plenty of float). About five minutes into a ride I get sharp pain on the outer edge of my feet, just behind the pedal.
