I have a Dolce Sport Compact Double that I really like. There are lots of possibilities out there for you including TREK, Giant, Jamis, etc. Any of which will serve you well. Find a bike you love and fits well. With respect to the Dolce's components, you can get almost any level you want by going to the next level up (Elite, Comp, etc). Visit all the local LBS and see what is available and which shop suits you the best. Enjoy the buying experience.
