I advise you rethink this. The Compass Rene Herse is the best crankset for your build, in my opinion.
Another important distinction you did not make in this thread, but you did make elsewhere is that this build will be 11-speed Shimano and your Front Shifting will be STI. That totally eliminates most vintage choices. If you expect your front shifting to be "perfect", or even "very good", you will want a crankset that was made with 11-speed front indexing in mind. No Sugino XD2, no vintage anything. I think the latest White Industries VBC models are good with 11-speed front indexing. Compass Rene Herse definitely are. Bill Lindsay El Cerrito, CA [disclaimer] - I seriously dislike front index shifting in all forms.
