Need to raise some cash for a new purchase? Have an old chain?

[MattTuck]

With a couple old chains, you could fund an entire new bike. Who knew!?

I was going to make a joke about how the Campy version is probably twice as much... but then I actually looked and there is a Campy version (http://www.etsy.com/listing/115772679/campagnolo-c10-sterling-silver-bicycle?ref=sr_gallery_7&ga_search_type=all&ga_includes[]=tags&ga_search_query=Campagnolo&ga_view_type=gallery). $27 for the DA, $45 for the Campy. Not quite twice as much, but close!

I know a few of you will disagree but most of the guys I know who wear cufflinks are not guys who would wear cufflinks made of chain links.

[AngryScientist]

total bologna that the record, chorus and centaur versions cost the same!

it's a nifty idea.

[jmoore]

Very cool. I love this kind of stuff.

[weiwentg]

The Record 11 version is only $38.

[branflakes]

The Record 11 version is only $38.
yes, but it's incompatible with any of the previous sets of links.

[kramnnim]

I hope they use correctly peened pins on the 11sp chains.

:)I hope they use correctly peened pins on the 11sp chains.

I love them and may get some. The campy chain is from a different vendor in England and silver plated, so that accounts for the difference in price. The comments are apt and humorous, however.

I only wear barrel cuffs, but those are cool.

in general I agree, but I may be the exception that proves the rule. I may try to make some with my old chains.

[Ken Robb]

Cuff links???? I thought they were to wear in various body piercings.

Thanks for verifying that you live in California. :)

Don't by shy with the parts washer if you like white shirts!

[redir]

Very creative and cool!

[Louis]

Caveat emptor - the stated price doesn't include the $175 Campy tool required to install them.

[MattyMo]

Very cool idea.

Reminds me of the guy who's making key chains out of old campy cages.

[soulspinner]

Please tell me the gooey stuff that comes on a chain isn't on there.......:rolleyes:

agree....how much louder can someone announce to the world that they're a douche?

[crossjunkee]

Less chain in the trash, very cool!

I've only worn "rented" cuff links.

[avalonracing]

I'm not sure that cufflinks always mean douche but I'd be willing to bet that this guy wears cufflinks.

ok...I guess I shouldn't say its an automatic...but I will say in my experience...of course, the most interesting man in the world wears cufflinks and drink Dos Equis...definitely not a douche. He's the exception though. As far as the guy on the Daily Show, he doesn't need them!!!

[tiretrax]

I've met plenty of d-bags wearing ironic t-shirts and skinny jeans.

And if they had sleeves they would probably "ironically" wear cufflinks. But they don't like sleeves, it covers up their boney, toneless arms.

[OtayBW]

All well and good, but for all we know, you'll need some fancy peening tool just to put on and take off your cufflinks....who needs that? :eek:
