Thoughts on triple vs compact cranks

[J9L]

I went out for a short 15 mile ride on my new bike today and wow....i have been missing out! This was a route i took my hybrid on often and i would feel quite tired midway and dread some hills..well not now. This bike flies....and the new isospeed for the trek domane frame is used on this bike but in aluminum and it soaks up bumps along with the carbon fork. The 105 shifts nicely and overall...such a smooth ride. This is a quality bang for the buck...im excited to hear about its reviews as it begins to be more widely released. The ride is comfy and all i kept thinking was how hard i worked on these routes and the exertion i used as compared to this ride...i hope i still get a workout haha! Guess ill just have to ride further... Below is a pic from after my ride today! As you can see...im not ready for clipless pedals yet...maybe next spring.
