Take a look at the Big Agnes Copper Spur 2, which is much roomier than the Fly Creek and only slightly more expensive and heavier. That would be my first choice in a lightweight tent for bike touring, if cost were not an issue. However, I ended up buying an REI Quarter Dome because I was able to get it for half the cost of the Big Agnes. It weighs about 1 lb more but packs just about as small, which is important if carrying in your panniers. REI stands behind their products, whether it's their own brand or others than they carry (such as Big Agnes).
