I have an old Bianchi with Shimano 105 parts - 9 gears
I would like to replace the crank with a compact (getting old ...)

any idea if the newer cranks (designed for 10 gears) will do the job?
how about the FSA components? do they work well with Shimano parts?

What do you want a bottom bracket to do?

a) Spin smoothly

b) Carry on spinning smoothly

FSA's BB-8000 has done both for me all year.

The BB-8000, available in both BSA and Italian versions, comes with oversized cartridge bearings that sit in forged and then CNCed cups. The same BB is available with ceramic bearings too but that's more than three times as expensive.
