Subject: [CR] Spoke questions


I am getting ready to build a set of wheels, but locating spokes has turned out to be a bit of a challenge. I am building 4 cross on Campagnolo Nuovo Record low flange, which means I need 305 or 306mm. So, a couple of questions:

Can I reuse the old spokes? I once built wheels on used rims, and I have regretted it. When I was a kid Robergel Trois Etoiles were considered the best, but recently I have heard them disparaged. Are they any good? What about Berg-Union? Does anyone have a source for DT, or Wheelsmith double-butted spokes in my size?
