My advice is go with Chrome Izumi top chains,will go with all bikes and you can pick em up cheap enough.
Not a fan of coloured chains too busy looking  :P

Yup that's the one.
They turn up on the bay all the time too if you prefer a bargain but for £19 still a decent deal for a quality antique chain.
