Izumi Eco 1/8" Track/SS Chain
It is not a track chain. For a cheap chain, I personally find the Wipermann White Star (108) to be a much better chain-- and it is even cheaper (despite being, I think, still made in Germany). It is heavier than the Eco but also much stronger-- not quite up to the Izumi V but still quite suitable for track racing. If weight is really a major issue I'd look to the Gusset.. price the Wippermann.. and, of course, ultimate strength the Izumi V.

UPDATE: i may change to a 3/32 drivetrain in the future...
however, i stumbled across the Izumi Eco 1/8" Track/SS Chain during my research. It has a claimed weight of 260 grams.

does anybody have some real life experience with this chain, especially weight-wise?
