+1. Why pay more?
I put on over 10k miles on my road bike as a student with one chain and several tins of 3 in 1. The guys who sell the fancy lubes are (often) the same guys who'll have you pay twenty quid for a 'cycle-specific' adjustable spanner that you can buy a better version of in a hardware store for a tenner.
