The TA is a fantastic option at least for me. 50/34 compact doubles are almost literally a dime a dozen these days. To try out the compact double thing I bought a square taper Campy Mirage for $30 on ebay, NIB. The key things for me are:
comes in 172.5 takes a 29 or 30 tooth small ring looks appropriate for whatever bike I am running doesn't completely break the bank The TA is a great option, but the pieces really do add up in price $250 for arms $90 for a spider $84 for a 46 ring $42 for a 30 ring That's $466 without a bottom bracket. Add a Phil Wood BB and some tax/ shipping and we're talking a $700 chunk. I'm sure it's worth every penny it costs, but that's a lot of dollars.
