If "Shimano Compatible" means STI compatible, that will depend on your
choice of front derailleur and chainring sizes.

For compact doubles, i.e., 48,50,52 and 34,36 your best choice is a
Dura Ace double front derailleur. I have 110 bolt pattern RSX,
Sugino, and Dimension cranks available. All use square taper bottom
brackets, not Octalink. All are 170 mm.

I believe that the best value out there is a Sugino XD, which can be
used as a triple or compact double. The set will cost you new what
you'll have to pay for decent used stuff. I bought a set for my
wife's bicycle from A. Muzi/http://www.yellowjersey.org . She
wanted everything new. I checked Sheldon Brown's site
http://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/cranks.html but didn't find the
Sugino but he has others. If you have rings, chainring bolts, and
crankarm bolts, the "Bulletproof" cranks there look like a bargain.
They look just like the Dimension cranks that I have.
