Your triple gave me an idea. I'm building up a triple and will us it for one race this coming spring. It's a 60 kms point to point done on a cross bike. Country roads, single track, rail trails and steep climb at the end that I (and 80% of others) have to walk. Last year I used a standard compact with an Ultegra 11-28 which was perfect for everything except that final climb.

I want to use a 50/34 chainring, so that means I need a 110 bcd. Sugino makes such a crank. It's 110/74 bcd with a tapered square drive. My set up will be 50/34/26 and an 11/28 in back.

I'll let you know how this works out in the spring
