The Rainier is a 2 for 1 really. You get all of the performance of a standard road bike, with the ability to run a little wider if you decide to (and most people do). The hidden fender and rack mounts are there just in case you decide you want put a rack on the bike for some credit card touring. Even if you never need them, they are there...just in case.
"Why would anyone want fenders, wider tires, a rack, and a wide range of gears?" asks the bike designers for the other companies. Well, it just so happens that our customers want to ride their bikes no matter what mother nature throws at them, or what hills or mountains they encounter. They got tired of bikes that whimpered at the thought of a little rain and started cutting and customizing fenders (albeit pretty crudely) to fit their race bikes. They didn't want the weight of a full touring bike, or a heavier disc brake bike...they wanted a race bike...but with fenders, durable tires, more gearing options, and a rear rack, all a must for the weekend tourist or daily commuter (at least in Seattle).
