OP, I would never consider passing on a bike because it has Biopace. If you want the bike, buy it. There are so many options to change out if you don't like Biopace. I have it on my 88 Nishiki Ariel MTB that I use on MUPS. It works fine and I won't replace it. Both my 92 Nishikis do not have it, and I'm not going to add it to them. I could care less if it has Biopace or not.

38 is only available in 110BCD.
There is a steel 40t that was on a low-end Exage crankset in 130BCD. That's the smallest 130 that Shimano made.

FWIW, I'm a Biopace fan and think they help old, bad knees on hills.
