I'm in the same boat ...... mine is looking a bit minging. Previous owner road the bike through Autumn commuting in London, did it no good at all.

I was thinking of one of the gold DID type chains, will be interested to see what others say.

I wouldn't go near a DID...................... seen/heard of too many snapping, especially gold ones. May be just bad luck but it's too regular for my liking.
I've been fitting Tsubaki SigmaR for 3 years now without even so much as a hiccup. Far from lightweight, but they last well, don't stretch too much and are cheaper than the DID.

Nelly fitted a tsubaki for me and I've been very impressed, It's only needed adjusting once in 6K miles

Tsubaki you need their special tool to fit one.....did use the regular chain rivetter!
