^ good looking bike! What do you mean you never use the granny ring? Maybe you're not riding steep enough grades then! =) There are a number of road bikes with triple rings, and I wish I had triple on a couple of my bikes when I'm climbing SFU. The only bike I have a triple on, is my touring bike, which is pretty standard. And yeah, in no way does it feel like a road bike.
If you do love the bike and plan on keeping it around, then I would just continue riding it until your drive train wore out, and then swap in a double at that time. Why waste perfecting good working parts unless you're racing & trying to save some weight or you can sell it for some money, just my personal opinion. (Or buy a new road bike at that time, but I bet you'll want to keep this around for a back up or rainy day bike or whatever).
