I bought a K2 Enemy from Performance last October for my commute (37 miles RT, 2200 feet of ascent), and I have been happy with it.
I've mounted a Topeak rack and Planet Bike Cascadia fenders on it. It has plenty of clearance for whatever fender you want to put on it.
Except for changing the tires from the Vittoria's that it came with to Conti Gatorskins, I am running it just as it was delivered to me. I've currently got a little more than 1800 miles on it, and it has been a reliable runner.

Keep an eye out for the Performance 10% off sales, I got mine for $820+tax, which I thought was a pretty good deal for this bike.
