Tom Sanders asks:
I just got a lovely set of 27" wheels (from a very nice CR Lister) that have stainless spokes. They are dated '68. Were stainless spokes used that early? +++++++++++++++++ CycloPedia carried the stainless version of the Robergels as far back as the early to mid-60s, as I recall. They (and the slightly later Stellas) had a reputation for brittleness; I don't remember being able to afford either.
