It's a carbon chain (well carbon coated...) do it! I think the real thing you should be taking away is that it would be be treating your lovely bike to a Diamond necklace. But please, for the love of god, when people comment how nice it looks don't reply with "It's diamond innit"

Hmmm, new thread? "Things not to say about your bike" ...also on the list "because she's worth it!" :oops: :lol:

Thanks guys, I knew I could rely on you to talk some sense into me and make me go for the all black chain. :D

I'm just thankful you went for diamond rather than pearl. As it is, kevy is choking on his flapjack.

Noooo... they do red and black.... that would be so perfect for Champ! Better get some miles in and wear out the current chain (which is all of 7km old...)
