[OrRando] cranksets: compact double vs. triple chainring

[r landon]

Hello,
   
  Thank you for the recent replys regarding frame materials.  
  I have a few more questions.
  Shimano compact double vs. triple chainring with STI shifters:
  What are the pros and cons of each?
  All of the bikes that I have tried have Shimano STI shifting 105/Ultegra and some Duraace.  
  What level of componentry would you recommend for randonneuring?
  Or are downtube shifters more common?
   
  Thank you,
