Post by: CD17 on February 24, 2012, 09:22 PM: No, but I'm not surprised, everything seems to be getting re issued ::)

I have been looking for one of these for quite a while now, so should I buy a re issue, or not :-\

Post by: The Burner King on February 24, 2012, 09:36 PM: Will there be any difference though? The new silver/nickel chains don't really look any different to the old nickel ones to me.

Post by: rad_pitt on February 24, 2012, 11:57 PM: I doubt there'll be any difference :-\ the silver chains never stopped being made did they? ???

To be honest, I'm quite glad about this, because I've seen these top £100 for a decent used one :idiot2:

Post by: Max Out! on February 25, 2012, 10:46 AM: I don't think IZUMI ever stopped making chains... I have a trade catalogue in front of me and the black, gold and silver are already listed. The new silver/ black ones should be between £15 and £20. Certainly a lot cheaper option that finding an original. Especially if you need to plough the money in to another part! ::) I don't think you would ever tell the difference. Even the packaging looks the same! IMO

Cheers

Max

Post by: Chromo Buzz on February 26, 2012, 01:22 AM: That's a real bummer, as i paid £115 for a NOS one off ebay in june 2010 :uglystupid2: I still cant believe i paid that for a kids bike chain to this day :idiot2:, my Raleigh Extra Burner cost £110 back in 83 :shocked:. How mad is this hobby, i couldnt afford high end bikes then & nearly 30yr's later i still cant afford it really.But i still find a way........some how ::)

Post by: rad_pitt on February 26, 2012, 01:28 AM: I don't think it will affect it - because the NOS silver/ gold Izumi chains that people put on builds aren't 'NOS' - they never ceased production.
