Trek 5000 Frame And Wheels

Hello All, I am considering buying the Trek 5000 road bike and I am worried about certain issues.

1) Is the Trek carbon frame strong enough for me at 220Ibs;

2) Are the Bontrager Race wheelset strong enough for a 220pounder;

3) The spoke count on the rear wheel is 24 and the front is 20. Is this a recipe for disaster? I like high spoke count.

I would really appreciate reading from those of you that have this bike, and are also on the heavy side.

What are the things you like and/or dislike about this bike?

Thanks for your anticipated help.

Regards
