Perfect, thanks for the responses. I was thinking about $20 but did not know if chains were one of those things you get what you pay for. For what its worth the only reason I am changing mine is because it has not been changed since I bought the bike, 700 miles ago, and I pretty sure the original owner of the bike never changed it either and it is from '98. I did the 'pull on the chain when in the biggest ring to see if it stretches' and it does. Plus it seems like I could take a link or two out and would still fit.

thanks again,
