Vintage cycling buddy'a mine who knows a lot (twenty-five-years or so USCF-certified mechanic, collector, frame-builder, worked with me in the 70's, owns assorted Masi's, 3R's, etc.) told me Campy NR triples were made only in 170mm. Couple weeks ago there was a 175 on the Bay; now there's a ................ 180!!!!
Short spider flutes, not an after-market-drilled double. Surprised the heck outta me. Guess my buddy was wrong.

Yep, he was fulla beans.
I've seen them in 167.5, 170, 172.5, 175, and 180. Non-170s were special-order items.
Haven't seen the other two sizes, but I'd wager they are out there (in very small numbers, most likely). 170s are probably 90+% of the total triples produced, so you don't see the other sizes very often at all.
