As did cycle tourists.
The CTC ( as cycling UK once was) magazine contained many an article or letter on chainset ring combinations and how to achieve ever lower gears. Not all of the correspondence was as interesting as this thread is.
They were mostly about double chainset combinations though as until MTBs appeared, ie mid 80s, triples were exotica from France.

Even in the UK I do see old Dawes with 52/36 or 46/30, not common but does exist.

Yes! Who can forget the excitement of fitting a SunTour MTB triple to their road bike in place of those flimsy TA Cyclotourist setups!
