Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Need Some Help With A Crankset

I'm looking for FC-6503 Ultegra Triple Crankset in a 170mm crank length in "NEW". I have checked all over and having a bit of a challenge finding one. I'm surprised that Shimano does not supply replacement parts once a new group set comes out. What do they want you to do, purchase a new group kit I guess? Let me know if anyone knows a way to get one of these crankset.

Thanks

1. Unless youre putting many many many miles on a crankset, theres really nothing to wear out.

2. If, for some strange reason you break your crankset, you dont have to buy a new gruppo; 10 speed cranks work fine with 9 speed everything else

3. Performance and Nashbar both have 9 speed shimano cranksets on sale.

for example

I'm not looking for what reasons I have to get one or just anything to throw in there. As stated I'm looking for an Ultegra FC-6503 170mm - New.

Check some of the online discounters or ebay. It's an older crank, so it'll be hard to find.
