Title: 80's BMX chains.....
Post by: Gnarlyscoots on May 13, 2015, 08:28 AM

Guys, I am trying to find out if the US produced a Bicycle/BMX chain in the 80's, or if they relied on them from Italy, France, Taiwan and Japan.

I know brands like Izumi, D.I.D, Sedis, KMC and Regina were all produced in other countries but, did the US have a USA made chain  ???

All help is grateful, thanks  :)

It appears Clint, that Acme did make chains back in the 80's but.........the chances of finding one is going to be very very very very very very very difficult.

Did I say very? I mean very difficult  ;D

I did however get this back email today from Diamond, to clarify things....

"Hi Terry,
 
Thanks for your enquiry, however, unfortunately we do not manufacture these chains.
