I am currently riding on Ultegra 9sp and am considering going compact
and changing my rear cassette. Is the Ritchey Pro 110V equivalent in
quality?
How about the FSA energy compact road? And can I simply install these
on the 109.5 BB I have on my bike now? and maybe lower my FD?

Thanks

I recently installed the Energy compact crankset on my bike. You can get it
in either the Shimano Octalink or ISIS pattern. If you get the Octalink
compatible model you merely install it on your existing bottom bracket,
lower and adjust as necessary your front derailleur, then you're good to go.

One note of caution. When adjusting your derailleur, pay close attention to
the low limit. Keep it very close so your chain doesn't overshift, and
overshoot off the little ring onto your bottom bracket.

Is the Ritchey Pro 110V double crank out yet? Ritchey has been promising
this crank for easily 8 months or more. I've known 2 people who wanted it
and eventually bought something else. Its my understanding that its still
vaporware....

That is correct. Go for the FSA, cheaper and available now. The Ritchey is
still 'vaporware'.
