Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - where to baby spokes come from?

Okay, looking to build up my next wheelset . . bought the Brandt book, read it twice, and I think I'm ready. Against his recommendation, however, I want to use bladed spokes. I found a place online that has wheelsmith spokes pretty cheap, but I can't find any place that has any of the other bladed spoke brands (Sapim and DT Swiss) I've been looking at. Does anyone know of any U.S. website I can get these from? I'm also not adverse to going to a LBS to get them, so if you have any recommendations for NYC shops that can get these, please let me know. Thanks in advance. . .

When a mommy spoke and a daddy spoke love each other very, very much...

any LBS can get spokes for you if they don't already have a box in stock

Beware. In a lot of cases (all?) regular hubs need to be modified to accept bladed spokes. By modified I mean the spoke holes need to be filed out on the hubs. This may not be the best idea for your first wheelbuild. But what do I know I am too much of a wimp to build my own wheels so take my advice with a grain of salt. :D

you can get wheelsmith aero (http://harriscyclery.net/site/page.cfm?PageID=49&Description=aero&Brand=463&Submit.x=20&Submit.y=7) from harris cyclery, but they just get them from QBP, which probably supplies your LBS.

thanx, champ

Those wheelsmith spokes fit standard hubs.....

If the bladed spokes are 15g they will fit without filing. If 14g, get out the needle file.
