Specialized makes a Globe Pro that they sell in the UK, but not in the USA. They sold it here in '07. I've ridden other Globe models and found the 52cm to fit me well. If I could find one of these, I would think very seriously about buying it.
Aluminum frame with carbon fork, seat stays, and seat post ... all with their Zertz vibration dampers. Very smooth ride.
