I have the Sugino triple on both my Riv and my Sweetpea (both are rando bikes, but the Sweetpea is getting the distance love now). 12-27 in back. I spend very little time on the big ring. I climb in the small ring. Depends on your fitness level. My riding partner climbs in the middle ring, but he's really, really strong.
