Guilty as charged. I have doubles on my uprights, triples on my 'bents.

I thought about mounting doubles on the bents for aesthetic reasons since the small rings are useless in normal riding conditions. But on 'bents, it's harder to cycle through different muscle sets, so you really want the small ring on steep extended climbs. Also, the middle ring yields a number of useful gear combos.
