Hi Greg,
After months of searching I just bought a Trek 2000 recently - it is fantastic.
Best advice - try different makes as the geometry is different - I used to have an Orbea which was a nicely finished bike but parts were hard to get in UK. Look at budget - this will have a bearing on running gear you can afford and amount of carbon etc.
Go to a road bike shop - don't buy it from a predominantly MTB store. Buy a 2006 model now that the prices are down due to new models coming out. And finally take advice from people whose opinions count.
(Hopefully this includes mine!)

There are so many companies that make excellent bike...
The main aspect is how much you would like to pay.
I would do the following:
1. Try few bicycles in few shops (ask if you can take them for 30-60min rides).
2. Read this good guide:

3. Buy the bike that feel the best for you!

There realy isnt a good way to answer this one. Do you want THE best? Or the best one that you could afford? Until you be more clear, you probably wotn get the answers you want.
While I cant nae a specific bike, you could bet that you couldnt getmuch better a bike than thoes used in the pro Tour circut.

Depends on your budget and the amount & type or riding you do...
The top names are Cervelo, Specialized, Trek, Look and Campagnolo, to name a few. If you have the money, you can get the most expensive, but it might not be the "best" for your needs.

The one that fits. If you're going to spend more than $1,000 on a bike, make sure you buy from a good dealer - They will make sure you get a good fit, and will be able to handle any maintenance you might need. Don't buy a good bike in the wrong size, you'll regret it.

A Yamaguchi custom as long as you order them on years following a summer Olympics. Otherwise long wait because competitors are having theirs made at Yamaguchi.

Ride as many different ones as you can, and choose the one you feel most comfortable on. You'll probably end up going back and riding that one a few times.
