As for the newer designs designed to increase power .... when I only occasionally crack triple digits in wattage, I cannot see the point.
Yup, I'm considering a Biopace triple for my old Univega, an early 1990s MTB-lite that I've hybridized and citified with Nitto albatross bars. Nothing wrong with the original 50/40/30 round triple, but I just recently discovered the mountain bike Biopace triples were also available in aluminum alloy. For years I'd heard they were only available in steel so I avoid them. But If I can snag a set and mate it with 170 cranks, it'll be a fun experiment.
