Stevens Cyclocross 105 opinions?

[TourLeTour]

Looking for a new bike that I can take on a 5000km fully laden tour during May, then convert to being a 'cross racer from June. Been looking at the Stevens Cyclocross 105. Anyone got experience with it? Any thoughts or opinions?
Thanks!

I have never done any touring but have been riding a Stevens cyclocross frame as my primary bike for 2 years with no issues. I do not run 105's, but did 10 years ago and they were fine then and I'm sure work well today. I don't know what information your looking for, but for the most part at any given price range you will get comparable bikes regardless of manufacturer. Stevens makes quality bikes, don't lose any sleep if you choose to purchase one.
