A triple is nice on a folder b/c you don't want to mash really hard on the flexible and admittedly creaky aluminum folding frame. I rarely use it, and hate adjusting the FD, but at the end of a long day, I want those low gears to spin up the hills on the way home -- just in case.

Also, I was thinking that doubles don't play well with the frame, which is rather wide at the chainstays.

It's great with that new MTA commuter rail station that just opened up near my home in West Haven!
