thanks! I have a couple sets of polished Sakae cranks hanging on the wall. One is 110 bcd and the other is 144 bcd. I had 3 sets of original double rings for them too that were scavenged from mid 80s road bikes but I cleaned my garage one day.......😔 oh well. Come to think of it I wish I stil had those frames too although being 80s vintage I imagine they were 126 spaced and aren’t most fixie hubs 120?
