Alternative chain for Brompton

Hello all,
I am looking for a black, potentially light weight chain to complement my new 2 speed black edition cycle. Something like this:
https://www.vanillabikes.com/products...FbYK0woda0AEqw

The bike comes with a 3/32" 102 link silver chain (54T chainset).

Could anyone offer any recommendations or advice on how to choose a suitably sized alternative? I'm not sure what measurements are required to ensure compatibility.

Thanks!

Your bookmark doesn't work. 3/32 chain is the important measurement and almost any 3/32 chain you buy including the ones from Walmart will work and work well. Roger

Any 5~8 speed derailleur chain will do , KMC is a good value & quality.. you do have to get the length right .

Brompton has length link counts on their tech pages (your 102 link count), but using the removed old one is simple to use as a comparison.

Sizing is something You Do.. got a chain tool? ever replaced a chain on any bike?
