They have 'em all...chains for 1, 5/6, 6/7 speeds. All old and new index for Shimano, Suntour, Campagnolo and SRAM. Grey/Grey, Silver/Grey, Silver/Silver, Gold/Grey, Teflon Color, etc.

Besides classic/vintage bikes, if you are also into classic/vintage motorized bikes and mopeds, they have those as well in most cases. (They're producers of

motorcycle chains and timing chains as well...)

Watch out when buying KMC/Shimano 6,7,8,9 speed chains cause in the last two years batches have arrived in stores on occasion with frozen links. Doesn't hurt to inspect in-shop / in-store when buying.
