Hi Scott,

I have a bunch of good spokes and a few good nipples from my Ambo restoration project that you are welcome to free. The nipples have lost most of the original plating, but will function just fine. Let me know how many of each you need and I'll send them to you.

Buchanan's spokes and nipples have a different enough thread that they won't interchange with the stock Guzzi ones. I can't remember why exactly, but seems it was something to do with the thread being "cut" on one and "rolled" on the other. Jason at Buchanan's advised against mixing theirs and stock in any case. FYI, a full set of 80 spokes and nipples is $95 from them. Cheers,

Charlie.

 Wondered if anyone on the list knew of an online source for spoke
nipples to fit the borrani wheels on my eldo?Just found a couple loose
spokes where the bottom had popped off the nipple,rendering them
useless.Any help on identifying the correct size would be most
helpful.THanks.Scott K
