How about an Orbea? I had a Ordu TT bike until i crashed into a car.
I'm thinking about replacing it with a BH GC Aero which can be seen here:

Which is cheaper but still meant to be an ace bike.

I don't think you should buy a TT bike online for a starter Levi, instead go and invest time in checking out local bike shops and see which are the most helpful. See if you can actually try out a few bikes with riding up and down the road or whatever. One thing i DO know about time trialing is that a lot of it comes down to position. My training mate bought a TT bike this year and was doing worse times trials on it than me on a standard road bike, then he invested 2 weeks of training on it and tweaking everything. Getting his postion right etc, and has since gone about 2 minutes faster than me on a 10mile course...
For the frame, I think you can pretty much go for anything, if i were you I'd go for the unique or the stunning. Colnago are probably something i'd look into because i like the look of them.
That's my two cents.

I was also hoping to get some more options from my fellow riders. Specialized and Treks are too expensive and everyone has cervelo's.
Some specialized are really good price for money. If you get a good deal you wont find a frame and equipment as good as specialized for the amount of money  |

If you want a cheaper frame than most, buying this coming years Boardman models would be a good way forward. High quality nowadays - the GB ladies team wins a lot of TTs on those babies!

I'm going to blow the bank and buy some Mavic Aksiums.....
 Have so little money that sense doesn't come into it. Those Lightweights will have to wait another year...

Big team fund raising event today. The celebs: Levi Leipheimer, Tony Cruz, Steve Cozza(Who may have given up on the mustache but now he has a beard) Mike Sayers(Beast) Tim Farnham (Bissel) and Scotty Nydam(coolest guy ever)
I initiated the first breakaway of the ride taking 4 teamates and Tony Cruz with me. Tony started hammering and dropped me and one other of my teamates. SO I dropped back and rode with Scotty and Levi.
There was a raffle. I got some of the high end Time Peddles and a Cannondale frame. How sweet is that.

2007 Cannondale Alloy Synapse 3. So its not a very good frame but It will make a great winter/crit bike: one that I won't mind traching. All I need is a 9 sped crank. All the other stuff I need I already have.
