I've decided to go compact (50/34). Currently running full ultegra 9 speed setup with a 53/39.
My funds are somewhat limited and I'd like to keep it under $200 so I know my choices might be limited. Is it possible to get at least a 105-quality comparable crankset? I'm not loyal to any brand but of course need it to be compatible with my current setup. I don't have a good handle for the quality of different versions offered by different brands (shimano, FSA, Truvativ, etc.).
Also, will I need a new front derailleur?
Thanks.
