My 11 speed chain works perfectly fine with 9 speed rings. Give it a go, nice looking crankset.
Get a modern 105 derailleur with integrated barrel adjuster which will work perfectly with the 16t chainring difference.

have realised it's unlikely my 10speed chain will play nicely with the rings which are probably 8 or 9 speed
Yeah you'll be fine with this. Give it a go!

Ye I think the inside width of chains is all the same, it's only the outside width that differs between speeds. So they would all work with a single ring, it might affect (effect? who the fuck knows?) shifting with a double but probably not between 8/9/10

@M_V
Need chain/crankset recommendations for my Raleigh project (it's a Record Ace not a Royal).
Can't decide between 1x or 2x.
Want something kinda retro/classy looking. I have some Ultegra 6600 HT2 arms that might look alright. The 38t minimum ring size probably means 1x if I use them and I'm struggling to find a decent looking small n/w ring.
Thought I'd gotten a nice set of Stronglights but have realised it's unlikely my 10speed chain will play nicely with the rings which are probably 8 or 9 speed vintage. Also don't know if the front mech I have (Campy road) will manage with the difference in chainring sizes.
