I have a Specialized Vita flat bar road bike. That is the women's version. (I'm short.) The men's version is called Sirrus. You should probably try both if they are available in your area. Price is between $500 - $880 depending on features. I am very happy with mine. The tube is slanted so there is no problem with standover height on both the men's and the women's. It is very much faster than my previous comfort/hybrid bike. I added some Specialized ergonomic bar ends to give me another hand position.
