I want to build a Mavic Open Sport in silver on a silver shimano road hub. This is to match the rear, which has a Tiagra 4600 hub.
I've found that as a pre-built M:part wheel for £52 (out of stock) at singletrackbikes, or they have a Tiagra hub and Open Sport rim for £35 (free P&P over £30), then I can get 32 Sapim leader spokes from Spa Cycles for £13.60 inc postage.
STB's website seems to use the same software as Spa, but it's dog slow, the search sucks, they only have a "Wheel Spares" category, rather than "spokes and nipples" and they've listed all of Shimano's wheel-specific spare spokes separately >:-(
Is there anywhere which sells spokes (singly or such that I can buy fewer than 40) and that rim and a cheap silver Shimano road hub, and can post them all to me for £40-45? Preferably without their website driving me mad.
