The Rene Herse is the benchmark for low Q triples at 153mm, old Ritchey Logics or Sugino AT can achieve <160mm. I believe the TAs (Zephyr & Carmina) are in the 160mm range. Modern Suginos and anything using an external BB approaches or surpasses 170mm.

Is the old Ritchey Logic triple too wide a Q-factor? (I don't know what it measures.)
Been watching this, an old 110/74 Ritchey Logic would be ideal. I've got two in 180mm, need 175mm for my wife.
