rocksteady: i've got one of those headsets, currently on a frame in my garden. not in amazing condition cosmetically but functionally decent. might warrant new bearings. you interested?
jayloo: 6500 is 9 speed, so rear mech would have been designed for 9 speed but should work fine with 8 speed drivetrain. If your shifters are SL-6401 then they should be 8 speed. its often quite hard to tell if the shifters are ok without actually setting them up with a cable, mech and wheel+cassette and seeing if they click through all the gears ok.
