Bulk Skip Tooth Chain

[frankster41]

Does anyone know of a source to buy bulk skip tooth (1 inch pitch) chain.
I need a one piece chain 63 links for pedal starting a 1911 Excelsior motorcycle.
Thank You
Frank

afaik 1" bicycle chain is no longer available. Diamond stopped producing it in the late 1990s I think. I've contacted them a couple times asking about producing it again and the answer is has been a flat "no".

Rexnord Industries makes 1" pitch block chain in several widths. They do not sell direct but can purchase chain and link through Applied Industrial Technologies (they have 450 service centers in North America). I paid $14.25 per foot for 1/2" width block chain.
