why get rid of it? IT'S A TRIPLE CRANKSET.
it's vanity, because your reason's aren't 'practical' or else you'd leave it on the bike. You don't like the way a triple looks? You were cheap and bought a great triple crank instead of the crank you actually wanted?
I understand.
Sorry for shooting you the scorn, i was at the bike shop at the time and we see a lot of poseurs VERY concerned about the way their bike looks.
