Thanks for the info, looking around I figure my one was from around maybe 2003 or a little later. But certainly not the latter version.
As I'm not seeing anything locally I'm thinking I'll wait for my wheels to arrive and put on my larger 12-27 cassette and a standard 52x39 crankset and see how that goes. I think it ought to be ok as I've been using solely 36x19 going up hills which has been fine, and the above setup would give that and some easier gears too.
Anyway I took it out today, stuck to just a flat section in the big ring, then a hill in the small, was pretty good. I went looking for a local keirin pro I've seen practising with their coach on a set of gentle hills before and as luck would be they passed me by as I was sat having a drink, think it was the same person anyway.
Shame I couldn't get some better pics really. They practice on the inclines pictured over on my flickr.
Took a nice loop around some new roads - the joy of having a GPS with me, came across a shrine deep in the forest having taken a chance on a fork in the road.

Compact FD had a deeper inboard cage (like triple); 2009 onwards one FD for both STD and CT: they are stamped as such on the inside of the inboard cage.
