I get Sapim spokes from Bike Tools Etc. in bags of 20 for good prices. Dan's Comp will sell them piecemeal as well if you call them.
That's what I was looking for. I wasn't sure if spokes were sold in large packs, but 72 and 144 boxes would be ideal.

I just got to thinking about bulk spokes because three of the wheel sets will use the same hubs and rims. Those 72 spoke boxes would work out great for this project.
