Got a cyclocross double: like 48/38 (I haven't counted it, the LBS told me what it is) (oops, the little ring says 39 on it, so I guess it's a 48/39)
A Campy Veloce compact double 50/30 would fit Flossie fine, and be compatible with her Campy Athena brifters (according to my guys at Recycled Cycles)
If I went for a triple I'd also have to get a long cage derailleur in the rear to adjust for all the extra chain, and a few other things, which would get awfully expensive.
I think the compact double is my best bet. but first the headset and stem!
(of course, stronger legs could make up for the 8-tooth chainring difference.... what's the quote? "don't ride upgrades, ride up grades"?)
