Inexpensive Chainring for 3speed Commuter Recommendations?

I need a new chainring for my commuter as it's a bit worn, was thinking of dropping the gearing a tiny bit, and never thought the solid black chainring really suited the 'classic' style of the bike anyway.

Chainring will need to be 1/8", 130bcd, and 46t, preferably silver and more classic/road looking than modern solid track ring.

So far been looking at the following:

VeloSolo CNC Road and Track Chainring POLISHED
http://www.velosolo.co.uk/shopcrank.html (can't direct link to the section unfortunately)

Any thoughts?

Be nice if there's something out there that looks the part and is cheaper - these are both around the price I paid for my complete crankset!

psee

What cranks do you have? The Velosolo chainring one looks good on most bikes imo. Good value too.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
