New Ultegra - media blackout over

[BrindiCruiser]

It appears that the media blackout on the new ultegra gear has finished. Bikeradar have published an article with a bunch of shots.

One thing I noted is that the chainrings on the new ultegra cranks are similar to the mega $ chain rings on the duraace.

But can I run the new shifters with old 7800 or Ultegra? That's what I need to know. Otherwise I'm going to SRAM shifters and a Jtek....

They look like they're pressed, I'm assuming the DA ones are machined to that shape. Big cost saving there, hope for everyone's sake they're compatible.
