Re: The Cycling Thread
You could always take off the triple and associated levers, flog it all on ebay and then put that money towards the compact.
My Van Nic had the extra click on the LHS shifter, TBH once I got used to it I never noticed it was there...

Re: The Cycling Thread
As the others have said, keep the triple levers, it'll give you the ability to trim the front mech for any gear combination.
I did the opposite on my Litespeed, when I used a double Sti gear lever to work a triple, only on weird gear combinations did I get any chain rub on the front mech. I'd changed the angle of the front mech by moving it round the hanger by a few degrees and then tightening it up. This was always the problem with Shimano's method of indexing the front mech, with Campag you could trim the front mech using the gear lever as it didn't use the same one click to shift principal, and therefore much easier to trim the front mech.

Re: The Cycling Thread
I bet it was similar to what I said when I fell off my mountain bike 3 weeks ago

However rear triangle in my eyes is not aestheticly pleasing. Urgh and whats going on with his seat position. I'm sure it lovely to ride, but not my cup of tea.
