Chain for the Schwinn?
Don't know a damn thing about chains. I do know that I need a new one. Could someone point me in the right direction for one for the 5-speed Suburban?

KMC Z33, $4.60 per chain last time I bought them at Niagara. I've used a lot of the Z30, Z33 and Z50 chains over the years.

+1000 on the KMZ Z-chains. You will need to cut some links out, so a chain tool is in order. It's an easy process. You could probably take it into the LBS and have them do it at little cost, but a chain tool is worth buying.

Wippermann 7z1, 708 or 808. You can't go wrong with their chains.
