Big Agnes Copper Spur UL Classic Tent

[trailrunners]

Looking at picking up a Big Agnes Copper Spur UL 2 Classic tent for use bikepacking and backpacking.  I'm looking at a tent that I can use for both.  I can get a Copper Spur for a pretty good deal right now and it looks like one of the best tents out there overall.  I need a tent for two (my wife and I), I want a free standing tent with rainfly, relatively lightweight but pretty durable, two doors and vestibules and reliable.  The Copper Spur ticks all of those boxes.  The ONLY problem I see with the Copper Spur is that the length (I'm assuming length of the poles) is 21". It's really the only thing holding me back right now from getting it.  The other tents I'm considering (similar quality, price and features) all have shorter length poles.  Only about 3" shorter, but that might make a difference.  Does anyone have experience with the Copper Spur UL 2 for bikepacking?  If so, was the pole length a problem?  Where do you mount or carry your poles on your bike when bikepacking?  Any help would be appreciated.  I'm not really interested in other tent or sleeping recommendations, unless they meet the preferences above.  Thanks!

I used a BA Fly Creek for many years.  Poles were stored in the frame bag (along the down tube), or strapped to the top tube separately when not using a frame bag.  Those options worked ok.  When I changed my set up to front panniers and no frame bag I purchased a BA Copper Spur bikepacking model.  Weight was a few ozs more than the std model but the whole thing would fit in a small pannier or even in a Carradice saddle bag.  You might want to check out the specific tents BA makes for bikepacking as the poles break down to about 12? or so.
