I'd suggest test riding a few. Then once you work out what you like the feel of have a look at second hand/on-line.
If you're doing longer rides at the weekend I would suggest drop bars with drop levers/hoods. Anything else just isn't that practical in the long term imo.
Personally I'd get an alu langster as it's cheap, practical, and more road orientated. The new ones especially are nice. Another good option is Person (Once more...). Plus it's a shop you can go to an actually test the bikes out. Which is idea if you're not sure what you want yet.
And sorry to break it to you but the Pinarello is hideous beyond belief.
