Have you considered buying a bike on-line?
For the same price of a basic Aluminum frame you can order a full Carbon frame with a nice component group. Go to your local bike shop and get your proper fit and frame size, then place your order for a bike on-line. Let the LBS know that you will be buying all of your accessories and tune ups from them - you may even want to have them assemble the bike for you.
Here are a few suggestions in the $1.200 price range:
Good luck
