have fun - i've had mine (red) for ... well i can't remember exactly, but a long long time.

for the chain, i've had a sram (pc1 i think, the bmx one) for years too. with a quick link but the solid type (with one male and one female part), looks like this

Did you go for the Izumi "Super Toughness" chain?

I've got one of those. I bought it cos it looked nice (gold and silver) and I thought the name was cool. What better reasons than that? :D

I hope you enjoy the bonus clicks on your trials freewheel :)
