Well, we folk with crunchy knees <skiing and biking will do that...>
endorse the triple crank idea.  <Or at least this one does>

I have a 39-46-54 front crankset, and a 14-34 Shimano 5 ring
rear, that provides just about any gear that I really need.
the 54-34 and 39-14 aren't too useful, but they're not very
necessary either. 


<For those of you who wonder how it works out, plot it,
it gives you one stump gear, one very high gear,
and 11 nicely spaced in the middle.>

Don't put that seat too high!
