I have a bunch of spokes I've pulled out of wheels, expecting to use them as spares and never using them. They're in west London. Most are silver, no idea of lengths but probably whole wheels worth.

Wunderbar! Thank you! I'll send you a message.
Should anyone else have spokes/nipples as per the first post, I will update the thread if I am no longer looking, so please feel free to send me a message until that point. Thank you.

Spokes are for a wheel on my golden carriage. It will replace the pygmy horse pictured in the foreground that was buried with my late mama when she passed may she rest in peace.

I have a box of old 700c /29 spokes, about 15 wheels worth, so let me know if Hippy cant oblige. Would need posting though, but a forum donation should cover that.

This lot. Looks like there's a set that might fit your requirements - they appear to be about 290mm. The other sets are too short I think - they were generally off big hubs and/or deep section rims.

I owe that regardless
This lot.
Thank you for taking the time to image these. I put line through the centre and one horizontally too but as mm's matter I can't work out roughly if they are within range. I suppose a shot like you've provided plus a close-up shot directly over the j-bend, with the ruler would be necessary. I'll bear this in mind for the future.
It looks like I am sorted now, however. I will update the thread one way or another once certain.
Thank you very much for the response. Extremely helpful.

Now sorted, thank you very much vilms5000.
On the off-chance you have spokes you will never use, I could put them to good use if you're happy for me to pick them up.
I will travel to collect within about 15 miles of SW1A 1AA. Send a private message, detailing when I can collect. Thank you very much.
