I have about 1500 miles on my CC now and I like it for what it does. I have a big rack on it so I don't have to worry about heel strike and I can commute very quickly and go on fun fast rides. I feel comfortable riding it long distance as well (74mi is my longest so far) but I do notice some comfort issues with it. You lean a little more forward than a touring bike. Like people say, it doesn't have a triple though...it hasn't been an issue for me, though.
