Ultegra 6700 Crankset Color
I got my 6700 crankset 53/39 today, I was expecting something like chrome silver color.
but the crankset I got is dark gray.
Does Ultegra crankset come in 2 different color ( dark gray or silver)?
The 6600 is in silver, and I really like how it looks.

There will be an Ice Grey coming out similar to what the 6600 series had but the new 6700 for now is like a brushed silver finish. 6600 and 7800 had the shiny chrome look.

personal taste...
I think it's Shimano's compromise between shiny and black...
certainly way better than the Red anodizing I now see of wheels/hubs and other bling, especially the off-brand stuff comin from the Orient...
I get the recurring 'Trixie the Fixie' rash from that stuff... almost as bad as saddle sores... or a poke in the eye

I've recently bought the ice grey 6601 in a clearance sale and really like it because it perfectly complements the grey/black carbon of the bike.

I'm thinking of it in terms of being put on Ti bike. I'm sure it'll look fine on a black/carbon/white frame. Just not silver on a different color silver. I'm not really in love with the shape of the spider, either. The DA looks clover-like and the Ultegra looks a little bit space-agey to me. But that's just me.
Sorry to disappoint, guys.
