I have a 2006 Specialized Dolce Elite. The reviews that say shifting is an issue are spot in. I don't know what it is about the triples but they have definite shifting problems. My chain would slip when going from the smallest ring in front the the second gear. Drove me nuts. I finally had the LBS put a compact double on it and it works much better. I have read in other forums and reviews that I'm not the only one with the problem so I figure it is something with the model. Of course, mine is a 2006 and the newer ones may have fixed the problem. Once I got the compact I love my bike. We get along great and put in a lot of miles.

Hope this helps.
