So I went and had a look at the Ultegra 6600 groupset that was going for a great price and decided that it would be the one for this build
The bottom bracket shell threads were rusty so rather than break anything I visited my LBS today and he ran the tap through to clean them up, he then faced off the ends of the shells so that the Hollowtec BB sat nice and flush when tightened
Back home and I threw a few bits on to give me an idea of what the build will look like and I'm rather pleased so far

I've been building up the 853 over the last few days and still have a few bits of tweaking to do before it's finished. I did however manage to take it out for a test and I have to say it is even better than I had hoped for. The 30mph speed limit was easily achieved on the level main road, gear changing through the Ultegra rear derailleur precise and smooth as for the brakes, well I don't think I've ever had brakes so good.
