I am looking to identify a KMC Chain on my friends Dutch Bike, as I am replacing, the Shamino RD-TX35 derailleur for her. I have attached some photos of the bike and some elements of it that might prove useful in this task.

Additionally, I can't accutally find the chain link connectore (Missing link or otherwise)

All suggestions and advice appreciated

Hello Clemenza and :welcome: to CC.

You've given us lots of pics but unfortunately not one that identifies how many speeds (rear sprocket) the bike has. I'm guessing it's probably 6 or 7. In which case it's any 5-8 speed chain. Many bikes with OE chain don't have a spring/quick link, so you need a chain cutting tool which you'll need for the new chain too.
When sizing the new chain lay it together (link for link) with the old one. In all probability the new one will have a quick link, if not sure ask. Make sure the closed end of the link faces in the direction of travel.
Good luck.

It is a Seven speed bike. Thanks for the advice.

Your quite correct, it’s a 7 speed bike. I’ll get a new chain. I’ve order a basic set of tools from Amazon.
