I've done a few thousand miles on the Triban's predecessor, the Sport 1, and priced at ~€300 it's been very good value. I don't use it very much now but I don't see any good reason to change over to a compact - it has a good gear range, and because it's never going to be a pedigree racing bike those extra couple of lower gears are very useful for hills. I had some problems with the bottom bracket/cranks that their mechanics eventually gave up trying to solve and put a Sora crank on instead. That's been fine ever since.
