Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

Most people and chain makers count all the links inner and outer, so a 114 link chain measures 57". In some contexts a link might mean the pair (inner and outer) but this is rare, and you'll know by the context.

It might be easier if we were clear and counted pitches. Since chain has 1/2" pitch, 114 pitches would clearly mean 57" without possibility of error.
