I am looking at a FCR2 by Giant to get in the near future. I am intrigued by how well this bike is built... in my opinion. What do you think in terms of wheel size and design? Is a potential touring bike or it can be modified for that purpose.

700x25 are they comfortable for long rides? Can you install paniers? How wide can you go on wheels with this bike?
