I also wish I would have spent more time looking for a bike and test riding before I purchased, but this is a learning process. Aside from the numb hands, though, I've been quite happy with my Specialized. I have to say the saddle it came with is more comfortable than I ever thought possible on a road bike. But that's a whole other topic...
As I have discovered there are hundreds of places to make adjustments and they can be the minutist little things but make a huge difference.

I would suggest really observe how you are riding and holding your hands at all times and where the rest of your body is and how much pressure there is on your butt, knees, feet, shoulders, back etc.

My left foot kept falling asleep after 12 miles and the numbness would creep up my leg. It took me awhile to figure it out (everyone said it was my seat) I didn't think it was. I really watched and figured out it was how I was putting pressure on my foot while pedaling. Went clipless with stiff soled road shoes and haven't had a problem up to 65 miles ( longest ride to date)

Good luck and keep us posted
