[DVBC] Compact Crankset

[JillOnBike]

There is a way to get a few bigger gears on a compact crankset.  If you go with a long cage rear derailleur you can use a little larger cogs in the back for the lowest gears, for climbing.  Paul just did this on his new bike.  Haven't really had a chance to test it, but others I know have done this successfully.

I'm trying to decide if a compact crank set would be the way to go if I 
get a new bike.  Is anyone out there using one and how do you like it?   
I've got a triple on my current bike and hardly ever use the big or the 
little gear, although there was a hill or two last year that I did break 
down and use the granny.  My inquiring mind would like to know.  Thanks.
