looking for a new chainset but i dont even know if anybody makes what i want.
been doing searches and its like banging your head against a brick wall !

shimano compatible , prefably a shimano , triple with 180 cranks.
the altegra one does`nt come in 180`s.
the DA7900 does`nt come as a triple .
the DA7800 comes as a triple but i cant figure out ,if they do a 180 version?
anything else out there?

    FWIW chainsets aren't specific to a particular brand of drivetrain - 9 and 10 speed are readily interchangeable as the chain rollers are the same width.
    Cursory search reveals that Truvativ Rouleur is available in both 180 and triple - might need to get your LBS to special order.
    Alternatively, TA Carmina is available up to 185mm - non-external BB though
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    cheers boys,
    especially aidanR, at least i know what im looking for exists.
    prefer to find one in the uk although i could just order one from LBS.
    although whats the betting as soon as i order one their introduced a 7900 version.
    at which point i`ll cry.

    If you can find them still - some NOS around at least earlier this year when I bought a set - older Campag Record triples were made in 180mm and are very nice cranks indeed.

    7803 in the UK (but not cheap... try haggling?)

    Edit - actually, it's technically in Germany
