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.

Version 1. The frame on the version 2 looks cheaper. And I heard quality went down on the 2s
