Yes... thats a Crown Royal sack

Unless you clean the thing every ride (which I pretty much do) the chain turns black and you can't even really tell it's gold, though... so be honest with yourself that you're doing it for vanity, and then keep yo' **** clean, nilla.

Here are some

GOld chain does not always work but on the right bike I think its killer.

ahah photoshop on the weigle

the Cdale belongs to another forum member, I stole picture from the gallery.

It will look great on your bike, gold chains usually work great on black bikes with black components.

Yep, tis my main ride

Some gumwall FMBs on box alloys tie the gold in better, but she's sporting the carbon/Paves till I get my next set of alloys build up.
