Absolutely loving the color and everything about it. Mine’s got the original 3x(22/32/42) 11-28. My use case is pretty much ATB which includes a lot of joyrides in the forest as well :)
To be honest, I have a lot of time for front derailleurs even though they’re unfashionable, especially for those of us who already understand how to use them them. What’s not to like about having 2 or 3 ranges? Reach the a rise or hollow and just flip into a another range for the other side… Close ratios and range… and straight chainlines.
Speaking of understanding how to use them. A coworker of mine leaves her 8spd rear derailleur in like 5th gear and only uses her 3x front derailleur to shift.
I was quite baffled when she told me this but hey, it gets her to work and home.
