Getting back into riding and in the market

After 20 years and 20 pounds I'm getting the itch to get back into cycling. I'm just starting to kick tires and will try to take a few test rides soon. I had a Trek 5200 some years ago that I gave to my son, but bike equipment has changed a bit since I last rode.

Any suggestions on what an advanced middle aged guy (58) should be looking at?

I will be buying from a LBS, just trying to figure out if any geometry, gearing, etc are easier on the old bones.

I did stop by a shop and saw some BMC's and Orbea's but bike prices have gone up since 1991.
