Ugly but effective
That's a bit harsh.
Oh, you mean the chain. Well, sponsorship was the only reason that chain was on the Storey bike. Shimano don't actually make a track chain, so it would be a toss up between NX01 cruiser chain and NX10 shopping bike chain, with the final decision coming down to which was nearest to hand. I doubt whether Shimano even makes them, their cheap chains are outsourced to KMC, who do actually make a good track chain. Perhaps if Shimano sponsored track athletes are going to be forced to toe the line, Shimano should get a batch of custom X101s with DuraAce logos stamped on the plates :-)
Huh. Ugly but effective then.
