Specialized TriCross for Brevets?

Hi all, does anyone have any experience using the TriCross in long distance road events? I would like your input in how it worked. I'm looking at the full carbon Frame only.

I have a Colnago C50, but to me it has shortcomings as the distance gets longer (400k +), and the roads get rougher. I am looking for a modern materials frame that can handle 35mm tires, fenders, and have a little more relaxed geometry than my C50, and not break the bank. I will be using a Generator hub, lights, handle bar bag, behind the seat water bottle cages, and a small seat post bag. The specialized frame is under $1500 new.

Can't afford Parlee, or Rene Herse, and I really see no valid reason for steel. Any other frames you might suggest? Thanks John
