Thanks for the advice everyone. I think i'm gonna go for the vero today. I'll see if there is a 6600 for less, but I doubt there will be. The current bottom bracket feels almost brand new to my highly untrained legs, and at the least I think it has a few thousand miles left on it.

I currently cannot shift unless i have the gearing just right, the adjuster screws on the FD are either all the way out or all the way in and it can only shift the first 2 cogs (28/38) so I am constantly riding at the top gear. I'm gonna go for a nice 50/34 and take the bike for a tune, so that everything is working. You can tell someone spent a long time trying to get the wrong crankset to work with the 105 FD since the cable running to it is all frayed. Need to replace that.

The bike fits great even though I feared buying it without riding it first was a death sentence in terms of getting a good fit. I'm very pleased overall, just wish the previous owner had left the gossamer crank on it.
