Looking at the pic of your bike on the specialized website, it appears to have eyelets for a rack and fenders. (or at least, two eyelet-looking thingies down near the rear hub, one pair for a fender, and one pair for a rack.) And braze-ons for front and rear racks. Granted, the rear braze-ons are a bit lower than average for the top stays of a regular rack, but they look usable with the bendy stays you can get these days.
I'm wondering too? I've had the Trek rack installed on
1)Trek 7.1fx
2)Nishiki mixte
3)Raleigh Step through
4)Surly Cross Check

The Trek bag wouldn't fit under my Nishiki's seat, so that's why I ordered the itty bitty Topeak.

Seems there aren't too many that they won't go on. Have your lbs help you. Like knotted said, there are different stays and they have to bend. It either hooks to the center bar or to your rack braze-ons.
