looking to upgrade...

The only thing I would suggest if you do go with a triple is to make sure it is higher end. Lower end triples won't shift as nice. I have Ultegra and it shifts beautifully.

I agree also! I had a triple with Tiagra and experienced ghost shifting from the middle to small front sprocket. I vowed to go with better components next time.

Funny thing....my riding partner has a triple and she vowed to never give up her triple.

And yes, I am an enabler. But one should *always* have a back up bike.
