My early 80's favorites were the Berg Union chrome-plated butted spokes. A mentor-type guy I knew who came from England, had this very cool Condor, and he turned me on to these spokes. Wow, they sure had some sparkle! I remember some breaking at the butt while truing, and later switched to wheelsmith, my fav still.
