Yeah, if this quantum gets to live on with a current Shimano 24 mm external bearing bottom bracket...I'm going to be seriously stoked! It will be worth the money.

Once it is installed I will get to ponder which modern Shimano crank will work best for this application. I have several nice ones - compact or conventional doubles, and several triples that I can deploy. Fun times!

Probably a triple (either Ultegra 6603 or 6703) is what I will go with due to the 126 mm 7speed spacing. This way I can use a narrow racing 7 cluster (with 12 - 23 for example) and this combined with a 52/39/30 in front I'll still have a good spread.
