A Specialized Allez Epic??? I had a ruby red one several years ago. In prior years the frame had unpainted tubes with yellow decals. It had carbon tubes bonded to aluminum BB shell and aluminum lugs. If any of that matches your description, I think the BB was English threaded.

I've got one and it has a Shimano Dura Ace crank, so I'm going to assume that's English.
Great bike, BTW. Enjoy it.

Specialized has actually apologized for making that bike. Make sure the carbon tubing is staying inside of the lugs.
