My Masi with a triplizer. I managed to use 7400 Dura Ace with a 48/38/28 and a 13/28 freewheel. I had to use an inordinately long BB axel, so chain line is less than optimal, but Eroica CA calls for this kind of gearing (for me). I also had to do some delicate surgery on the FD mount, so I could lower the FD to get better shifting. It was never designed for a 48 tooth chainring!

Fast, lightweight and road are very subjective now days and getting more so.

Mine are both triples, like @Andy_K’s, who is my go-to riding buddy when we’re on shared rides out here in short-and-steep PNW. (Maybe we can get back to those eventually!) These would be fast with a faster motor. Both use Sachs 8-speed Ergo and custom cassettes (tight spacing in the middle cogs, wider at the ends) on Shimano hubs, 110-74 cranks with 46-36-24 rings. The medium cage Sachs New Success RD’s work fine since I’m willing to have a slack chain on the small ring with cogs smaller than 16T, so not an issue.
Sorry, @SurferRosa, these work for me and my cadence. You know that I’m a slog up hills and many other situations these days, and you never knew me when I wasn’t.
This ‘79 912 purchased new in Boulder, CO when my motor was faster at 30 YO, worked fine on those long climbs in the Rockies as a double. When I moved to Seattle and got back to cycling in my mid-40’s and the motor was still working pretty well, the short-steeps everywhere around here dictated a triple. The additional decades (now 71 YO), too many major surgeries, and a sometimes questionable heart have certainly taken their toll. What’s really important is that I still love riding on these, and the triples are a big reason.
Here it is before Gugificazione! that added rando-esque treatment to the front end.

XTR M910 Rear Derailleur and M900 Front Derailleur.

Added: If you look closely you'll see a tiny bit of aluminum sticking above the hoods where the cable housing stops. That is a cable stop from an Avid V-brake that attach to the noodles and it keeps the cables going straight up and prevents them from sagging against the side of the hood. Something I hate are sagging/angled cables coming out of non-aero hoods.

I've had this Trak 400T for a couple years. Currently, it has a Shimano 50-40-30 round crank instead of the original 52-42-32 Oval-Tech. My goal is for a wide range of gears to do hilly century rides, so I have been playing around with different gearing. I need to get some updated pictures.

Folks need gears lower than 34" (36t x 28t) on their "go fast" bike? Y'all must do some serious climbing.

Oh yeah, my wife, who won 3 Seniors medals at State championships (road and track), raced Road Nationals, and won her Masters age group at a national championship series MTB race, has a 24t granny on her triple, with a 34t freewheel cog, on her Litespeed Ti road racer. She rides a lot more than I do, practically every day when she's not cross-country skiing. At 68 y.o., she's not ashamed to have low gears, nor should she be!
Dura-Ace 7400 crank (1984 vintage) with a Stronglight triplizer middle ring, Suntour granny ring. 24-38-48. Ti pedal and BB spindles, alloy bolts everywhere. She gets all the cool vintage crazy-light stuff because she's light and doesn't break stuff. (No carbon though, that's against our religion.)

[QUOTE=seypat;21894809]I have a black Turbo I'm building up at the moment. Not all of the parts have shown up yet. It will be the opposite of the shiny Turbo. 
The tripple on the Centurion is the one I’ve beed searching for the longest time. Still hoping to get my hands on them soon 🤞
