Welcome to the forums. A mid 90's Cannondale is a good choice. Six years ago, when I moved from just mountain bikes to add on road biking, it was on a 96' SR500. The T-700 has a chromoly fork and that's good. Avoid bikes that have aluminum forks as they transmit road every bump through the bars to your arms. If you haven't already done so, buy some cycling gloves to help absorb road shock. You'll probably start off with a soft saddle, most folks returning to cycling do. Eventually, you'll want a firmer saddle, but that comes after everything hardens up. Good luck, and keep posting.
