When I was just looking at bikes recently (before I bought my Bianchi Veloce) I test rode a Specialized Sirrus and also the Specialized Sequoia. They were both pretty nice bikes. I also tried out the Trek 7.5FX and the Trek Pilot 1.2 that the PP mentioned. The 7.5FX is really similar to the Sirrus, and the Pilot 1.2 is very much like the Sequoia. If you want to sit more upright you would probably prefer the Sirrus or 7.5FX, but the Sequoia and Pilot 1.2 are not too forward either, even though they have drop bars. You might want to ride something with drops, just to see what you think--personally, I find them more comfortable than flat bars, but your milage may vary.
