Great to see all the triples on this thread! I'm a huge fan of the triple setup. More gears, wider overall ratios, smaller jumps between gears, etc. It's hard to really see much downside. The main issue is that often the groups need to be cobbled together, which requires a bit of experience and some mechanical know-how. I suppose they are marginally more heavy, but is anyone really worried about that on these types of bikes? I also live at the top of a steep hill. At the end of a long ride, given the choice between a lower ratio or a few less ounces, I know what I would choose ten out of ten times.
