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.
BMC and Orbea are not the usual stock for a run of the mill LBS But they are good bikes.
But before the bikes- Find the LBS. The one that will treat you right and help you get back into Cycling. That could be the difficult part.
I take it you are looking for a road bike and a few do stick out as Favourites on this form. One of which is the Specialized Roubaix and the Other the Giant Defy. Various forms and prices but there are a lot of other makes that are just as suitable. Make of bike will probably be one of those that your eventual LBS carry and within price groups- most bikes are of equivalent quality.
