Beezer makes some nice steel bikes with a good spec. for the money. The various 'Radar' or 'Doppler' models are possibilities for you. I think the 'Radar Expert' has a good spec. and is a good value for $1069. Not sure if there is a shop that carries Breezer near you - might have to drive.
Here's the website:
