I have been asked by a friend to sell 5 NOS 1" x 3/16" chains, variously called "inch-pitch" (racers) or "skip-tooth" (balloon-tire fiends). These are roller chains, not "block" chains.

One has been spoken for. Its box said "Schwinn-approved." Three are in beat-up plain boxes with waxed paper wrapping inside with one or two. One was rubber-stamped or crudely printed "Czecheslovakia". A couple are marked "98c" where that was obviously the price. Larry Black guessed that they were 1960s.

Price: $50 each, post-paid in US. Won't ship international. One per customer if over-subscribed. Priorities: 1) Those who identify a specific bike for which this missing item would really make a difference. 2) Order of receipt of requests. 3) Folks I regard as having added a lot to the CR list.

First three get boxed chains, unless they indicate that they don't care; 4th gets loose chain. $5 discount if picked up directly or at Trexlertown this weekend.
