I would even be comfortable with an aluminum frame like the Raleigh "Revenio" (I love that bike, put many miles on it before going to the Orbea "Orca").

I would get the upgraded components to at least a 105 groupset and then if a triple crank was needed (and I can see the value of one even though I run a compact double) one could be ordered and installed.
