Look through "the usual sources": McMaster-Carr, MSC Direct, Grainger, or Small Parts.

25 pitch roller chain is easy to purchase, although Spectra (sometimes called Dyneema) cable is a bit harder to find. I prefer Spectra cable to steel cable; 7/64" Spectra cord has an ultimate breaking strength of above 1,000 pounds, it doesn't stretch any appreciable amount, and it's a lot lighter than steel cable at only 0.3 lbs per 100 feet. The only real downside is that it costs $1 per foot.
