Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

That's one of the problems with exotic factory wheels that use unique spokes. The manufacturer moves on to the latest "new and improved" version, and forgets to maintain a small stock of spokes for servicing the earlier version. This was a chronic prob;em with Campy wheels (and may still be for all I know).

You might have to settle for a workable analog, ie, right length and head, and reasonably matched gauge, disregarding profile and color.
