What bicycle to buy?

Haven't ridden for many years. Last bike was a Peugeot 10 spd I brought back from Europe.

Want a road bike; won't be doing any mountain biking (maybe some dirt bike paths, though). Want light weight and a stiff frame as opposed to what I see are called "comfort" bikes (no wussy padded saddle, flat handlebars, fat tires, etc.).

Figure I'll have to spend 1 to 1.5k - want to buy new. Just beginning to look into it. Trek, GT?

A mix of flat and hilly where I live (which is cool because I always liked pulling long hills anyway).

Want the bike mainly for physical fitness, maybe occasional time trials.

Suggestions?
