Where can I find oval chainring in 44T 110BCD 5 bolt for middle/outer position?

I want to put an oval chainring on my double crank 74/110, which has both chainrings on the inner side of the spider flange.
I want 44T, for 110BCD 5 bolt.

Where can I find one?

The problem is that most I've seen are wide/narrow for single.

The ones for double/triple are usually much bigger than 44T for a 110BCD, and normally the ones for outer double have them on the outside of the spider flange.

Try amazon first, they would be cheapest.

Oval rings have gotten out of fashion, at least for road, so not sure about supplies.

110 BCD, can fit down to 34 teeth. I have a double in 50/34 5x110BCD, very common now, and can sometimes be bought for not much more than a chainring; Mine was $65, including new external bottom bracket bearings (requiring a special wrench).

Are you leaving the ring on the 74 BCD in place?

I'd love to find a hollowtech II style crank like my 50/34, but with also a 74 BCD on the inside for a triple crank, not seen any yet, triple cranks are out of fashion with huge cassettes in fashion.

Have you looked at the absolute BLACK range?

I'm pretty sure that there were 44/34/24 110x74 Biopace cranksets back in the day. NOS or take-off rings shouldn't be that hard to find, and MTB outers tended not to get used much.

That's maybe the best euphemism for "crashing a mountain bike" I've ever heard.

Not crashing, just lack of ground clearance. My MTB crashes were mostly over the handlebar, while my road bike crashes have been mostly sliding off to the side. (Stepping off the back, or failing to unclip, don't count as crashes, do they?)

There are some old/new stock of 25t oval that I might give a try. I guess it would feel like 24-26 at the recovery and power phase. 8.3%

With the small oval you might have problems arise with the chain bouncing onto the chainstay. The ovals with the small diameter really accentuate this, especially as one gets to the middle of the freewheel/cassette in back. On my Miyata 1000 with a 28 biopace it was quite annoying and kinda unexpected frankly. A 12-28 on this 1989 model with the 48-38-28 front didn’t really get super low either. The small oval rings felt very strange too, while I wasn’t really bothered by the larger sizes.

Shimano FC-R3030-CG and FC-5703 have 130/74 BCD 5 bolt.

There are 2 other models if you check the catalogs with 110/74 with asymmetric 4 bolts.

I have a sugino OX 110/74 BCD 5 bolt double.

From TA's website:
The French manufacturer Spécialités T.A. was founded in 1947 and for decades they have been producing MTB, Road and Track compatible chainrings. As of late, TA has also dipped into the oval chainring market, making them a great alternative to three largest component manufacturers.
