Title: Spokes for Nuovo Falcone
Post by: Antietam Classic Cycle on August 30, 2017, 02:11:30 PM
Does anyone know of a source in the US for these? Looking for 2 spokes and 2 nipples. Buchanan's has already been suggested.

No known source.  However, we have a guy nearby that specializes in vintage wheel reconstruction and he owns a spoke making machine.  Lilkely he can solve your troubles.  However, we would need one from you as a sample to work from.  He's a bit of a space cadet bag lady so I would NOT recommend sending anything directly to him.  You need a personal hand-carry intermediary.  I'd be happy to do that for you if need be.

Otherwise, surely the Italian vintage vendors can help and you should have a list of those.

Charlie,
Gawa Guzzi has them. He's in Germany and requires a wire transfer for payment. He is reliable to deal with. It takes a while to go thru the process to receive them.

Teo Lamers has them, but the gent that needs them was hoping to find something in the US.

Patrick: I'll pass along what you've posted and see what he thinks.
