I know this has been done before but I'm really trsugglin to find a cheap online supplier of stainles double butted spokes. I need 32 170mm and 32 180mm for a hybrid crow's foot pattern i want to try out and i can't find anyone that's got both in stock and doesn't want to charge the earth.

Any pointers greeatfully recieved.

What you building? A child's bike?

cyclebasket.com are good, but they do spokes for bicycles, not toys unfortunately.

One I've been using lately aside from the ones mentioned above is http://www.velomax.co.uk. The site is a bit naff but has a good range of lengths. They are the ACI Alpina ones, double butted with brass nipples. 27p each at the last count. Postage is about £2.00 and they get sent out quickly. Cyclebasket charge £6.00 postage as they use a courier, so only order from them if you are getting other stuff rather than just spokes.

Spa Cycles? 25p each for ACI Alpina DB, 35p each for Sapim Race.

Couple of quid for postage - or free with a big enough order

Give Wheelcraft in Scotland a phone. Nae website of sorts but there is this. Telephone is 01360 312709.

Big Al has a room full of spokes with a Phil Wood spoke cutting machine, a marvel of engineering, custom sizes are a matter of turning a handle.
