I need help!

So I'm getting a Centurion LeMans RS soon and it needs a new chain but since it's a pretty old model and I live in Australia I couldn't find one.

Bikes: Too many to list here check my signature.

You can't find a basic 7,8,9 speed KMC chain? If it is 7spd or under you don't need anything too fancy. I'll be happy to post you one if there is some sort of chain blockade down there.

That chain is pretty standard. I would think you could get one at just about any bike shop. If not, the internet is your friend.

Any 8 speed 3/32 chain should work.

FYI Just last week I tried to buy some 8 SPD chains in Merida and they were unavailable. Merida is now a city of 1.2 million.
