I know it is standard chain, but it is so long that at least two lengths of standard chain would be required to make into one. This means two attachment links or Shimano splicing pins. Not that this is a big deal, but do tandem specialty stores sell a chain that is longer and doesn't require splicing?
Many of your larger bike shops and tandem dealers buy chain in bulk, that is by the spool, which would allow them to sell you a timing chain that has only one master link. Last time I visited Tandems Limited in Birmingham (
www.tandemsltd.com) I seem to recall that Jack had a large spool of KMC chain but I'm not sure which dealers stock which brands and models of chains in bulk. For that you'd need to check around.
