Anyone know when it´s out?

CRC are now showing it on their website, but without an expected delivery date.

Also, will it be backwards compatible with other Shimano groupsets? I quite fancy some of the shifters (in part for bling, but also I think they´ll fit my hands better - if they´re anything like the Dura Ace ones), but would want to use the rest of my existing 6600 Ultegra groupset.

    Are you talking about the 6700 groupset?

    Standard doubles are due out in August, compacts in September.

    Got this info from Epic Cycles who are doing the build on my new Orca.

    No - build from scratch, ready in distant future.
