the way ergopower shifters work too, with micro ratcheting for the front shifting, meant campag bikes were all compatible with triples, and many had them as OEM equipment.
You also had DA/ Ultegra etc triples for a long time, although they're part of a kind of midschool dark ages.
The nice old triples would also usually take a granny chainring down to 24t and shift it well enough and many did this mod for serious hill gears.
