Threeforks, I'm glad you posted this about spokes and etc.  Learning the cost of these parts and services was eye opening.  I used to purchase entire Weinmann 26" wheels new  for $45 to $60. Their much more than that now but still cheaper than building evidently.  Knowing the value of these parts now I stripped down a badly bent wheel today keeping the spokes and hubs.  Down the road I may try to learn how to lace and true wheels.  I was able to tear the wheel down wearing my arm sling from my surgery.  To learn reassembly I'll have be healed up better.
