I personally like the Cadent series of bikes from Raleigh. My wife and I have matching Cadent 2.0. We are in our early to mid 50's so the slightly more upright riding position is really comfortable for us. This is the easiest ridiing bike I have ever been on. It solid and turns on a dime and leaves 9 cents change but its not squirelly. Has the carbon fork and seat post. I put a Brooks B-17 on mine and its da bomb.
