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

Which Crankset?

Hello All, I just purchased a 08 Cannondale Synapse framset and was wondering if you guys had any suggestions as to which would be the best double crankset to build this bike with? I was wanting to use a 53/39. Also, was wondering if any of you had the new dura ace 11-28 rear cassette and what you think about it as far as shifting goes?
Thanks

I hear good things about the new Ultegra stuff. But personally I'm a campy fan boy.
