10" +/- spokes

[Jesse McCauley]

I'm working on a ca. 1900 24" wheel boys bike and I've been fortunate so far in finding the appropriate hub, rim, and tire I need to finish the project but finding 28 "patina" spokes-
I went through my stash but either too long or too short.

Worst case scenario if they are ultra shiny I can beat the plating down a bit -

Thanks folks, let me know if I can help anyone with any particular bits and pieces in return.

Thanks!

I have some vintage spoke- Torrington among others.
What gauge are you looking for?
Butted or straight gauge?
Do you need nippels? What type and length?

rusty

This box of 1000 has the potential to be a good deal.

Probably way more than you’ll ever need, but the price is certainly right, if it stays that way.
That’s real time as of this posting, so check it out, if these will work for you.

$69.00 bucks for 1000, n o s spokes, was a great deal, for the guy looking for 10” inch spokes.

you could also take your patina'd long spokes to a competent bike shop and have them cut and rethread them.

Sorry guys for whatever reason I wasn't getting the announcements of these posts!

Thank you for the help and I'll send a couple follow up notes!
