I know there have been some changes since I sold my bikes (had a Rivendell also) so this is the first step in my research. My budget is about $5K but I can go a bit higher depending on the wheel set.

Any tips for an old guy in good shape that wants to get some of his mojo back? Thanks in advance guys, and watch out, those years creep up on ya’ pretty darn fast. 🤷🏾‍♂️
I was in a similar situation…..nice road bike from mid 90s sold and getting back into cycling 30 yrs later at age 67. I wound up getting a GREAT used bike from The Pro’s Closet, a 15.5 lb Kestrel Legend SL from 2016, $3K. I’ve put a few hundred bucks into it with upgrades and I can’t fully express how much I absolutely love it!
