Shimano has also formally announced the impending production of a 50/34 compact crankset.
Interestingly, it won't be branded "Dura-Ace" or "Ultegra", rather,
there will be one version of this crankset only, and it will simply be known as "FC-R700".
It will have the Hollowtech II integrated BB spindle technology of today's Dura Ace and Ultegra cranksets.
And Shimano states that since the rings will use their current SG-X shifting technology,
there will be no need to use a compact-specific front derailleur.
Rather, any existing double Shimano front derailleur will lead to crisp shifting between chainrings.
We don't have a price on this yet, but the estimated delivery date is January 2006.

こりゃまたずいぶん先の話だな。
日本だとさらに遅くなるんだろ。
まだ情報ほとんどないけど、出るのは決まったな。
