The fact that this is a Limongi, one of the best-riding frames I've tried, really makes this worth a premium if it's your size.
Chain looks like the original 8mm-wide Uniglide, so shifting would be greatly improved with a switch to a later, narrower 7-8s Shimano or KMC chain imo.
Shimano stopped spec'ing the old, wider chain (even on 6s bikes) as soon as the newer bushingless UG-Narrow chain arrived.
If lucky, that chain is a UG Narrow chain (which would have printing on it indicating such), but the "tall" inner plates indicate that it's the older UG (wide, with bushings) chain.
