I've got a rainbow and I like it very much. I'm 5'9" and there is plenty of room for gear at my feet. It fits two people snugly. It is definitely the lightest tent I own. Haven't used it for bikepacking yet but I suspect it will work out well. I'm thinking about strapping it to my bars but am concerned about rubbing through the tent bag at contact points near the stem. Plenty of winter left to figure that one out.
My only concern with the rainbow will have to be tested in heavy rain. There is a mesh gap near the floor that might let pesky bouncing rain drops in.
