I have FC-5703 (105) triple cranks on two bikes and FC-4603 (Tiagra) triples on two others. Seeing the way things were going, a couple of years ago I found two NOS FC-5703 cranks for sale at attractive prices at couple of on-line shops I bought them both. They are sitting on my parts shelf waiting for they day they are needed.
wow that's a lot of triples
little surprised - especially with availability of 10 cogs / 11t small cog and compact cranksets
50/34 crank and 11-28 cassette ... ? ... 11-30 .. ? ... 11-32 ... ? ... 11-34 ... ? ... 12-30 ? ... should provide the gearing for the climbs and descents
