I am a mountain bike rider transitioning to a road bike. I've made a couple of trips down to the bike shop and have narrowed my choices down to a Specialized Sequoia Elite or Comp.

Could you please give me some feedback on these two bikes? I'm planning on starting out with 30 mile rides twice a week, then working my way up to 50 mile rides this summer. Maybe with the right bike I can aim even higher?!

Thanks in advance for your input. I'm hoping to go down to the bike shop on Friday to make my purchase so I can ride on Saturday. It's supposed to be gorgeous on Cape Cod on Saturday.
