OK. If you've ordered from him within the last few months, I'd guess he's still going(unless that was the j/k part). I just wasn't sure because this thread is a couple years old. I'll try to get in contact with him. Thanks.

Once you switch to Lee, you won't switch to anything else. He's got great prices on DB spokes, and his normal turnaround for me is about a day.

I did think about just emailing him, but I figured if he wasn't still doing it then I might just get no reply and have to post here anyway to look into it further. I figured I may as well just "quick reply" and ask to begin with since I was already right here.

Yup! Lee really rules - and he is apparently alive and well on ebay:
