Dave,

    My husband is an avid cyclist and titanium spokes are not the first
    choice. The choice for spokes are either steel or carbon steel. I
    tried to do just this, thinking that this would be a cost effective
    option. It's not.

    Here is one seller. I don't know what the grade of titanium is. I
    know they are round and you have to spend $78 for 14 of them. This
    could work, or could be the same stuff you get in a cheaper pick. 

    Spokes are round. My soldering pick is flat with a twisted end. This
    allows you to pick it up easier. If this is a better option for you,
    then by all means, use a bicycle shop. I have asked around six local
    bike shops and none of them carry titanium spokes, or have used ones. 


    Carbon steel is the choice du-jour for cyclists.

    Whose husband is out today on a 200km bike ride...for fun. This is
    the man who rode from Boston - Montreal - Boston in 86 hours.
