I've never paid more than $25 for an NOS Diamond chain and used cogs in to $5-$15 range. This was also 10 years ago. Diamond chains are looking in the $40 to $50 range these days and cogs in the $15 to $25 ballpark. I'd recommend looking at the fat-tire folks for your skip-tooth stuff because they end up with a ton of lightweight inch-pitch stuff they don't need, or want. I remember in '92 or so Mel Pinto was closing out all his left over Campagnolo inch-pitch stuff and had a bunch of it then, so it's still out there somewhere. good luck, Brandon"monkeyman"Ives SB, CA
