In the process of ordering a new Ti framed bike but wondered about the differences between the comp, champ and race triples, I would prefer a 9 speed as my current steed has a very useful and always reliable 9 speed Veloce.

From the website it appears there is a 9 speed, I guess it is the old argument what benefit is a 10 speed over 9 speed?

The bike itself will be used for long rides in the country with a few hills involved hence why the triple and my age as well, knees not getting any younger.

    Unless you have old parts, I'd go for 10 speed - it's been around for 8 years and reliability is no worse than 9 speed. The advantage? 1 sprocket. The disadvantage? - the weight of 1 sprocket.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..
