I just got back from a 3 hour ride with my new compact and I have to say I have reconsidered. I must say it was almost as gratifying as taking the testarosa for a spin as a matter of fact if you looked at the big ring just right you could see a similar race yellow hue. But it did open my eyes to why most high end bike makers are offering a standard double or compact double on their high end new bikes. come on folks lighten up![/QUOTE]
