This SLT review is a bit dated but there are comments following it as recent as a few hours ago

One thing to consider is that if you have been away from cycling for 30 years, will you still be happy and comfortable with a bike that has you leaning forward as this bike does (and so do most road bikes)? I bought and kept a high end road bike for decades but found my mileage dropping off year by year as the bent over stance got less comfortable. I finally gave it away a few years back. A more relaxed stance may be better in the long run and you will get more miles on it but perhaps a bit slower.
