To the OP- to the best of my knowledge, there is no Hollowtech II crankset available for that 7 speed drivetrain. You could try a Claris crankset meant for an 8 speed drivetrain. You need to swap out the left brifter though to get the correct click spacing.
So you think it unlikely that the 6600 would work with my current 7 speed then?
