How tinely for me as the discussion just turned to radial lacing and bladed spokes, I have a request for info if not a parts source.
A customer just brought me a (positively OT) NR hub radially laced wheel and the spokes are bladed. They are without spoke heads, rather they have "S" bend at the end so they could be inserted and the hub would not have to have its holes slotted. The customer broke one of these spokes, it's 14 ga and about 282mm, and like I said, bladed.
I did a search but have not found any source yet, can anyone hereabouts help with this? The customer thought that the Performance catalog used to sell them but of course, that was long ago...
BTW, the 1963 Cinelli SC I offered to the list has found what I believe will be a loving CR home. Oh that I had to be 6'-8" and cannot have the stable of cool OT KOF bikes some of you have. And while I am blathering, the Alex Singer found a very loving CR member home after a bit of auction skirmishing. I hope he brings its all purty-fied to VR.
Thanks and I hope I can find a spoke!
