Keep in mind that a machinist can make oval slots in a 144 ring quite easily so they fit on a 151 crank. It would be best to take a stack so that the set up time is spread over a few. Blaine Velo Sports 763- 712-0312 near the NSC Velodrome north of Minneapolis had someone lined up to do this but I am talking about 10 years ago.

Mike Kone had some rings made up a while ago. I'll let him tell the story if he cares to.

Jim Merz made rings in the 1970s and I think they were over $50 so a price of $100 plus makes sense.

Highpath Engineering could make them for $150 or so. http://www.highpath.co.uk/cycles/eggs/01.html
