Unfortunately, I don't have an itemized bill for this. It's wrapped into the full price of the bike. I would go with Peter White's prices for starters. Also note that at least one of the chainrings must come with the ramps & pins. We found out the hard way that shifting doesn't work without them. After that experience, I'm not sure why any distributor would send out a triple without them on at least the middle ring.

But the full changeover would require a different bottom bracket, crank & chainrings, and chain. In my case the Campy derailleur didn't work so he went with IRD.

A compact double is certainly worth considering.
