Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Change 2007 Trek Madone 5.2 SL from triple to compact

Anyone know what's involved in changing a 2007 Trek Madone 5.2 SL Triple to a Compact. I'm getting different responses from different sources. Is it as simple as just changing the crank and making some adjustments or do more components need to be swapped?

no, you need a new left brifter. Ultegra is double or triple specific, it cant do both.
