It is still interesting to know how to cut or roll your own spokes (even though it sounds illegal).
It is still worth noting that radial lacing has tiny advantages and huge disadvantages. Unless you are aiming to break a world record, I don't see how it can be worthwhile. Of course, some people will risk their bikes to look stylish.
I realize that it's not as dangerous as it used to be, but that's hardly an argument in favor of the practice!
