OP, the Specialized Allez, for a decent, more upright road bike. Base price is in the $700s, so you could upgrade to better components if you want. Cannondale Synapse also. Both have carbon forks, I believe, as does the Cannondale Quick 3 and 2.
You're absolutely correct. I intended to say more durable, not more versatile.
Thanks!
PS.
Many performance oriented hybrids can't take tire widths up to 38c like the Codas.
