    Looking for a compact crankset with 172.5 arms .. an Ultegra 6600 would be ideal to match the existing shifters and get decent shifting performance but let me know what you've got.
    Can meet up in Dublin midweek or the Maynooth area at weekends if that suits.

    6700 or 6600 crankset would both work fine for you. The more critical issue for smooth shifting IMO is to match the LH 6600 shifter and the FD 6600 and set these up properly, which you have.

    Lots of choice on ebay for 6600/6700 Cranksets if you don't have any luck here.

    I have a brand new Ultegra crank 172.5 50/356, it's off the Di2 groupset never used.

    That would be nice but too much money (and also more than I need right now)... I'm looking at spending about 50 squid at most.

    Once I get better legs, lose some weight and can manage to keep up with some of the lads on my commute then I'll start to upgrade to better gear (that I suspect will be a while given my propensity for mince pies :D )
