Damn, that looks like the ultimate bling; but I have a hard time springing $80 for a chain... I can't imagine it would last 3.5X as long as the KMC equivalent.

you should have told 1happygirl about that deal.

Are you going to keep us in suspense over how much weight it saves?

Regina made a Ti chain back in the day. You still see them on ebay. They were light, but they did'nt last long and I heard they failed.

I saw these and read the description. It said it had steel plates and Ti coated rollers. If that is true, I'd think it is a real stretch to called that a Ti chain.

Except for the color of the rollers, it looks just like a SRAM 1090R.
