Question about Fiamme Rims
Help!
My 20+ year old Motobecane with Fiamme Rims has a broken spoke, and it's caused a wobble in the rear wheel. I've done some searching, and can't seem to find Fiamme parts (spokes, specifically) anywhere on the net.
The tire is 27" x 1 1/4", and the rim has the yellow Fiamme label, as oppsed to the red one. The yellow means it's a lighter weight rim designed for lighter riders.
How can I replace this? Are spokes universally interchangeable? Or, is there a company out there with spokes that would work for this rim?
Thanks for any help,
Gary

The Classic & Vintage Forum will hold the answers 
- but your LBS should have no problem setting you up with a proper replacement spoke. If you don't have any luck, PM me.
