Ooh, I wish it had been offered with a triple when I got mine. The LBS said they would swap the compact double out for a triple if I REALLY wanted it, but they thought I would be "just fine" with the double. Well, I guess I am, but I can't keep up with the boys on the hills around here with the compact double (pouting and stamping foot)! I do like the smooth shifting of the compact double, but I tend to stay away from places with the word "Hill" or "Mountain" in the name!

Let us know how you like the new bike!
