If you measure the length, and let me know what the symbol on the spokehead is, I may have a bunch of them. The shop I work at has quite a few old spokes, which may be leftover from an old Raleigh dealer. I will need to know the type of spoke though, since they may also be mixed in with generic spokes from the same time or newer.

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.

If you have any that you think would be right for this, please let me know.
Thanks
