+1. Any bike with a top end of 50-12 is fast enough unless you're Contador.

I have a 2011 Kona Jake CX bike with a high of 50-12, and after 2400 miles of commuting and 2 gran fondos this year, I can tell you that an ametuer rider will never spin out of that gear except for steep descents, when it's faster to not pedal anyways.
