I live in SF and have decided to go with a compact crank with an 11-23 cassette. Right now there are a few auctions on ebay and I was wondering which you guys thought I should go with. I plan on purchasing one tonight or tomorrow morning. I did some searching in the forms and it seemed like most people would go with the shimano but I would like to see which people think specifically with these cranks.
SHIMANO ULTEGRA \ R700 8 PIECE COMPACT GROUP 10s

This was my first choice and I still think first actally. I like the idea from buying from a store as opposed to ebay. I have herd good things about the shimano compact and it comes with free shipping.

I was really interested in this one until I found out about all the problems people were having with fsa cranks. Not too excited about this one anymore.
Truvativ Compact Carbon Rouleur BLACK RINGS(50/36)

Havent herd of this brand. Some people said they prefer the shimano compact.
My final option is to wait for the new Ultegra SL. Problem is I have a comp in 2 weeks and would like to have my new bike for it.
Thanks ahead of time!
