I know that triple shifter would be on my short list, I'm sure it works and all but more of a right way/wrong way thing for me. One of my minds idiocencracies to let it drive me nuts. The seat post with a shim would fall in the same category. What kind of budget are you working with? I could be quite happy with that group of parts but I am the type of person that likes to modify and tinker and could go overboard really easy. I doubt the bike holds you back so just enjoy it.
