Wanted, 14x1.75 wheels or spokes

[Neanderthal77]

I am looking for wheels or spokes for a Colson tricycle. The rear 14x1.75 wheels spokes are missing and pretty bad shape. Let me know what you have. Thank you.

There is such a thing as a Spoke Machine. It cuts and threads exactly. I have not seen one for about 20 years. Used in old bikes shops. If anyone has one it would be good to know!
Nice trike!

I have a lot of nos spokes. Tell me the length and I will look.

If fat tire trader doesn't have the right length, I might. I have over 10,000 spokes currently.

Thank you, I will get a measurement tomorrow.

Wheels in that condition are an easy fix for an experienced mechanic ...
Wheels look in good shape

At first I thought I could adjust the spokes to straighten the wheels but pretty much every one is tightened down all the way. Looks like the spoke ends are bent and they need to be replaced.

@fat tire trader and @Gordon here is the measurement of the spokes I need. Thank you for looking to see if you have them.

According to my inventory list, I have 24 spokes measuring 5 1/4 inches and 96 measuring 5 3/8 inches. I believe you need the 5 1/4, but 5 3/8 could probably be trimmed to fit if necessary.

It seems I only have 20 of the 5 1/4 left, but lots of 5 3/8.
