Black Spokes

Anyone know of a good source for black spokes for a road wheel (274mm and
294mm)?

Bike shops can usually order spokes for you but if it's not something
they'll use then they may require you to buy an entire box so they're
not stuck with the excess.

Colorado Cyclist advertises that they carry black DT 14/15 (2.0/1.8)
spokes at US$0.80 per spoke:

Go to "Wheels, Tires" and then to "Spokes, Nipples." They claim
to build a lot of wheels so they should have a wide selection of
lengths available. Call or email them to check if they have what
you're looking for.

I've ordered spokes from Colorado Cyclist and they're about the
only place that's ever given me the right spokes on the first try.
Just to be safe, however, I'd suggest getting a spoke ruler if you
don't already have one. I've learned never to trust that the spokes
I'm given are correct until I measure them myself.
