Spoke questions?
 
I need to rebuild the wheels on a '78 Raleigh Competition GS. The rims are Wienmann 700 C Alloy concave A124 narrow section. The hubs are Campy Nuovo Gran Sport, low-flange, 36-hole. I'd like to go with NOS spokes? They appear to be about 298mm. I'm not sure of the diameter. Can anyone suggest what type of spokes I should look for? Is there a particular brand or type that would be best? What is an appropriate diameter?
Thanks in advance.

For similar wheel builds I use D.T. Swiss 2.0/1.8 double butted stainless "Competition" spokes. I love 'em.

I cheat a bit on spokes, using double-butted DT stainless in place of ugly galvanized originals.
