I have been going nuts. I'm looking for a bike for a fully supported cross country tour. I thought I was settled on the Giant OCR1W but then I thought "how does carbon feel?" Big mistake. It feels great. So now I have a decision again. How do folks think the Specialized Ruby Comp can stand up to a cross country tour? It's fully supported so I'm not going to hauling a lot of weight. The LBS said Jandd makes a bag that attaches to the seat rails so there isn't an issue of a rack. I'm worried that the wheels and tires are a little thin and the spokes are too few. Also the one I rode had a double. LBS guy said a it's a compact double so it would be OK.

After my tour I will use the bike for commuting, charity rides and riding the hundreds of miles of trails in the area.

Any help would be appreciated.
