Unless you "need" to make this bike work with a 6/7-speed rear cassette, which seems doubtful given the 142-disc rear, I can't imagine how the Ultegra 600 crankset contirbutes to creating a cohesive drivetrain for this bike.


I have an alternative drivetrain ready to go that I know will work but like the ascetic of the 600 parts on this frame. I have the matching tricolor shifters and der to go with it. The gear range will be fine for the purpose I have for it (its 8-speed stuff) so if I can make it work with out a lot of fuss I’m all for it.
