My triple shifts just fine and my 105 FD never even needs trimming (it will rub slightly if I'm cross-chaining, but if I haven't figured it out by the chain noise, that's its version of an idiot light).
I can't find weight specs for Shimano componentry. And I'm not sure which Campy groupset is most comparable to their triple, but the highest level (lightest) aluminum compact crank they have is Centaur. Everything above that is carbon, so not a fair comparison, and a Centaur compact crankset weighs a whopping 46 grams more than a Campy Triple crank. (Did I mention my bra holds 80 grams of sweat?Even now, it may only be 1/2 lb or so) Even if you go all the way to the full carbon $uper Record compact, the difference is 163 grams, which is still a good deal less than half a pound (227 g).
