Plus 1 for what Hallie said - "D.I.D" all the way! A well tried and proven, reliable chain.
This is what I use:
DID X Ring Gold chain and standard teeth front and rear sprocket kit. (Available on eBay from bikextremeUK, which is C&J Wilson (Uphall Ltd) in Edinburgh, Scotland).
£99.95 for the kit, and
FREE P&P - you probably won't find this kit much cheaper! (To buy just the 102 link DID50VXGB chain will cost about 80 quid)

The X ring chain has different shaped O ring inside (Usually, you get "O" ring chains, but the rubber rings in this chain are X shaped - to hold the chain lube better and last longer.)
Front Sprocket: 16 Tooth
Rear Sprocket: 41 Tooth
Chain: DID50VXGB - 102 Links (Comes with soft rivet link).
JUST the chain is gold - the sprockets are standard steel, and will more likely be made by "JS"
