Lower gearing for Stronglight 93/49d, 144 BCD Campagnolo

If anyone out there is interested in lower gearing on their Stronglight 93 or 49d crankset, I've started making 122 BCD chainrings that will provide it. One is a 37-tooth small ring for use in a standard double setup. Stronglight did make 38-tooth rings in that BCD, and even reportedly a few 37s, but in practice it's hard to find a functional used ring smaller than a 40 or 42.
I also make a 42-tooth triplizer ring that will accept any 74 BCD granny ring, making it possible to convert a 93 or 49d to a wide-range triple (though a longer spindle is needed, as with any triple conversion).
By mid-May of this year, I expect to have a 42-tooth triplizer for 144 BCD Campagnolo cranksets also. Details are at my web site, http://www.redclovercomponents.com.
Apologies if this kind of mercenary post is not appropriate here--I haven't been able to find any guidelines on what the rules are. I started making these things because I love old bikes and wanted these unusual rings for myself, so thought others might want to know about them as well.
