-oOo- My favorite vintage bike to take out for a hard ride broke a spoke. It is an early 70's Raleigh Super Course with the Normandy large flange hubs and the weinnmann 1 1/4 inch x 27 inch wheels. It was a rear drive side spoke

Since it is all original, I would like to try to find the same spokes rather than use modern stainless spokes. Does anyone happen to have some around? It would be nice to have a few spares as well, for either side or the front wheel.

Will you measure and post the length you need? Are NOS non-stainless spokes generally available? Do listmembers comfortably (and carefully) remove spokes from broken wheels for spares?
