Keith,

I'm delivering my wheels to Tom tomorrow for the re-spoke work and he expects about 4 weeks for return. Thanks for all of your help.

Keith, Thanks for the information, I've sent an email with picks to Tom. I'm not comfortable trying to save any of the spokes on my wheels and am going to go ahead with replacing them. I may do the fronts myself after building a Regan press but, haven't found the rear spokes on any of the supplier's...

Thanks,
