10 spd Dura Ace triple alternative?

[kristiancyclist]

I am (very) slowly building up my dream bike and I am considering a 10 spd Dura Ace triple crankset. What other alternative 10 speed triple cranks are out there? I know FSA makes some beautiful triple cranksets. Are they 10 speed compatible? I would love to hear fromyou.

Thanks!

FSA will work with 10s. You can also use Campagnolo cranks with Dura Ace chains/casettes and vice versa, although the purists would balk at mixing brands. Truvativ (SRAM company) and Ritchey also make road triples that should work well with 10s drivetrains. There are also other manufacturers.

Stronglight ( http://www.zefal.com/stronglight/page.php?nom=produits&keySousFamille=pedalierRoute ) also has about five different really nice triples to choose from. (if you have money tree growing in the backyard, it helps)

This is just my racer rant here:

Dura-Ace looks unclean in its triple form.

Agreed, as though it's soiled itself in some fashion.

Dura-Ace cranks look ugly in a double too.

Yup! If you need low gears buy a compact.

I have a DuraAce double now, but am thinking about moving to a compact. Any thoughts / inputs on the new Shimano compact (which I understand is not part of any group), or moving to other compacts (FSA, etc.)?
