One of my co-workers at Trek had one on his Vitus, along with a Zeus freewheel (lighter than the Regina Ti). The whole bike (Jubilee derailleurs, Zeus 2000 crank and Ti BB and pedals, Stronglight headset, Hi-E wheels with Clement silk track tires, etc.) tipped the scales at a tad over 14 pounds, which was pretty good for early 80's technology.
IIRC, the chain cost ~$150 at the time.
