Bio-Pace, or at least the elliptical chainring, has made a kind of comeback. Rotor (a Spanish company noted for their cranks) makes Q-Rings, and Bradley Wiggins has been using Osymmetric rings.
Miche is still around. (It's an Italian company, so it's pronounced "mee-kay." Resist the temptation to pronounce it in French - "meesh." Although I think it sounds better in French. Just like "Dura Ace" sounds better in Italian ("doo-rah ah-chay")!
