Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

for road,

5s = 120mm
6s = 120 later evolved to 126mm
7s = 126mm, and later evolved to 130mm where it stayed through 11s

mtn bikes were 130mm for 6&7s, then went to 135mm, and some went to 140mm.

Though the number of speeds were a factor, it was an evolutionary process, and doesn't tie to the number of speeds directly.
