Will this work?

• 175mm crank arm length

• Compatible with 8 and 9-speed Shimano road drivetrains
• Fits standard 68mm English or Italian threaded BB shell with correct Octalink V1 BB — 107mm spindle for 68mm English
• 130mm BCD — standard road double
• Double front derailleur required — compatible with Shimano 8/9-speed road double FDs

Condition: Very good overall. Chainring teeth are sharp with minimal wear — plenty of miles remaining. Crank arms show light surface marks and scratches on outer faces, consistent with normal use. Pedal threads and crank bolt threads clean and undamaged. Internal splines excellent.

Notes from MyBikeThing — The FC-6500 is the double version of Shimano’s legendary 6500 Ultegra generation — cold-forged aluminum, made in Japan, and a benchmark of late 90s/early 2000s road engineering. The 53/39 on 130mm BCD is the classic road double setup, and 175mm arms are a specific length that taller riders actively seek out for a more natural pedal stroke. This is an 8 and 9-speed crankset, making it a natural fit for period-correct builds or any rider keeping a quality older drivetrain on the road. Reliable, proven, and built to a standard that holds up decades later.

Guarantee — You put in the miles, we put in the work. 30-day guarantee on fit, function, and condition. – Paul
