Be careful with the chains- I've bought them and they fit most old 10 or 12 speeds, but they say they will work on up to a 24 speed and that may not be the case. I had an old Nishiki touring bike with a five speed freewheel (granted it had a pretty big granny gear) and a triple chainring, but the chain wasn't even close to long enough to fit it. It really just depends on what kind of bike you're fixing and what you're planning on doing with it. Some of the stuff will get you by, but probably not last as long as a more expensive alternative.
