check with Wayne Bingham, who has the old Mel Pinto inventory, since he bought the firm. If memory serves, all of the Robergel spokes used an threading that was not compatible with spokes from the rest of the world. You can change out the spokes to DT, Wheelsmith, or whatever, but would have to change the nipples, too.

I removed them and measured them at 306/307 mm long. They were 0.062" to 0.066" (not very round) with butted ends at 0.070 to 0.072" (15/16/15). The end stamps looks like a capitol E, but are a bit hard to make out. Can anyone tell me who made them? Edco? Does anyone have a few this size and brand they can sell to me? <snip>
and Bob Hanson responded, I'm sure correctly: Those are Robergel butted stainless steel spokes. The "E" on the spoke head refers to the "Trois Etoiles" (3 Stars) model - which was their premium spoke.
