op...if stiffness is your main concern (that phrase is making me a bit...uhhh...uncomfortable) why are you looking at dura ace fc-7600s instead of the newer tecnology, lighter, & supposedly even stiffer fc 7710s?

after deciding to treat myself to a nice crankset - i'd been waffling among 75s, both das, & record pistas for quite a while. researched my ass off on them & wasn't able to come up with a truly logical reason to choose & then realized that i am not so proficient to actually feel much difference in them in use. ended up pulling the trigger on a set of the campy cranks the other day when i couldn't resist what i considered to be an outstanding deal on them at probikekit. plus, they really do just look soooo nice...
