I don't know which is sillier - to be upset about having a triple crankset on your own bike to get upset by the triple crankset on somebody else's bike.
Totally agree. I have bikes with triple cranksets(mountain bike, touring bike) I have a bike with a compact crank, and one with what used to be considered as a standard double chainring setup. I am still adapting to my bike with the compact, I have to rethink my shifting patterns, but this spring doing an HC climb in the Pyrenees I came to appreciate how well it works for me. People set their bikes up to suit themselves, sometimes what they want makes no sense to me, but I wish them well and hope they enjoy riding the bike they built
