Memories. I assembled those Centurians two years earlier in Boston. Back when all "10-speeds" had chains that were simple, durable, required tools to both break and assemble and very rarely failed. (Higher math was needed to denote the number of speeds; you couldn't just count the cogs on your fingers.)

Thanks for the info, a quick search for 3/32 5/6 speed chains on Amazon brings up some. Having ridden motorcycles for the last twenty years, and changed my own chains on them, I use a chain tool to rivit the side plate in place. I thought bikes would have them also.
