Man, I’d love to have one of those with miles still left in it. Big money though.
I did notice KMC makes a chain, the 9 speed X9SL which has hollow pins, and plates that are relieved with “cut outs” in the mid section. Specs have it weighing in at 272 grams for a full length of 116 links. Not bad.
A bit modern looking for a true vintage build, but still, a fairy inexpensive option for weight saving.
Considering one myself. I’m just not sure how well it’d work with a 7 speed HG setup.
