Type in "8 speed bicycle" chain in Google and you will get many 1000s of responses. The same would be true of E-Bay. Generally true but not always is the more you pay the better you get. Personally I like Sedis branded chains. Roger

SRAM (ex-Sedis) PC 58 is for 5 to 8 (get it?) speed freewheel/cassette. Do you need something more exotic?

The SRAM line, PC 48, PC 58, and PC 68 are my personal favorites. I'm not sure if you can still get a 68, but it has all polished links for maximum bling. I use one on my Bianchi.

I think the sram chains pale in comparison to shimano. My opinion is that shimano HG-91s are the best new chains available for 8 speed and they shift brilliantly.
