I miss using it, as I've just never warmed to my compact. We're getting ready to do our Katy Trail tour, and my touring bike has a triple. I'm looking forward to using it.
I like having a triple, especially since I live in a hilly town. Since the shifters aren't even Sora, the shifting is terrible, but I like the fact that I have a tiny ring to give me a hand. I'd like a triple on my next bike, but finding an Ultegra triple is next to impossible!
