Old school chain, how many links?

I am getting a 1986 Haro Fst built at the moment and looking to buy a chain for it. the rear freewheel has 18 teeth and I think the chain wheel is 39 teeth.  How many links does it need? Some say 110link others 90link.

thanks  :)

depends how far back you put the rear wheel. 110 will do you fine, you can always take the spare ones off. Nothing worse than being one link short. 90? sure it doesn't say 96. That's the normal amount. 96 or 110.

Thanks. Seen a KMC one in silver for a tenner plus postage,or is it worth spending a bit more on an Izumi one?

If you're going to ride it, probably not.
