I've got a CAAD5 AL frame and I love it... but I'm 5'10" and 150 lbs - I never understood why everyone complains about AL, I've done centuries on it without a problem.

Sounds like a foot alignment issue - check your cleats. Better yet, take'em to an LBS and have them use a RAD kit (http://www.bikefitkit.com/fit_kit/rad_kit.html) on your bike.
