Standard triple or swap out for a compact double? Opinions?
I am toying with the idea of a new bike for the '09 season.
I have a line on a black and white '08 Trek Madone 5.2 at a great price point.
It comes with Ultegra, and a triple.
I can leave it stock or have the shop swap out for a Bontraeger compact double....no extra $$.
The shifters would have to change as well. They would go from that standard almost gray look to the chrome looking ones.
I ride a Klein triple with Campy Veloce on it now.
Thoughts about the swap if I pull the trigger on the new bike?
