That's not the one I was thinking of since the Wippermann I saw in the Performance catalog dates from the late '90's. I was unaware there were earlier attempts at Ti chains.

I do like the comment about the Regina; "Best-wearing and one of the smoothest-shifting chains I've ever ridden." I think that says more about the deficiencies of the regular chains available at the time than it does about the merits of the Regina.
