Personally, I was going to suggest a Specialized Globe from your original question. It's a very comfortable bike that's as fast as you're going to get at it's price point.

Up from that is the Specialized Sirrus. I thought it was faster than the globe and nearly as comfortable over bumps and rough stuff, but it costs like twice as much (I'm talking about the version with the carbon fork, the lower version is not as comfortable).

Up from that is like a Specialized Sequoia - an "endurance", comfort road bike. Faster and same price as the Sirrus, but it is a curly bar bike.
