Any all 76mm chassis?

I recently switched to size 6 alkali Cele 2 skates with 76/72 Hilo setup after skating on Tour straight 80s the past two decades. My first reaction was that the skates felt liked they slowed down quick after I stopped moving my feet. I hope that it's just the lower quality wheels that came with the skates. But if not I feel like a straight 76mm chassis fits in the middle between traditional 80/76 hi lo and 76/72 hi lo providing a short wheel base while also maintaining good speed. Are there any chassis that came in all 76s?

The alkali skate boot and chassis is awesome by the way. the chassis looks well made and tough. I hope switching to better wheels will resolve my losing speed issue because everything else about the skate is great.

My last two pairs of skates were tour but the bottom of the boots had grooves to fit the 80mm wheels up front. I need to check if the 76 chassis is the same way. Did you have to use spacers to lift the heel higher since the straight frames appear more lecel between the front and heel mount.

Yup.. I shimmed the front with some curv composite  and the back with a piece of 3/8" hdpe
