I'm currently riding a ten year old bike with a 105 triple crank, 9 speed cassette. I rarely use the innermost ring. I would like to try a compact crank (105 or Ultegra). Will I have to change out the front STI lever as well?
Hmm not too sure but maybe, I would wait for one of the others who have/had this model
Good maintenance to your Bike, can make it like the wheels are, true and smooth!
Depends on the STI lever - some triples will work okay with doubles, some will not.

Ron - more than likely it will work. Can you pull the hood boot back and find the model number? It will probably read ST-5xxx something.
Wheelies don't pop themselves. (from a QBP fortune cookie)
This is why I said to wait
