you are correct sir, i've checked and shimano does not offer a 3x11 groupset...if anything, i had to pick out part by part to make it a 3x11. now that i know for sure it is possible to go triple in the front and mix road and mountain parts, i guess the decision is back to if it's really worth it like someone previously mentioned, and figuring out which is the most cost effective.
