Hello,

Before you give up on the internet, try http://www.buchananspokes.com.

They have a very large selection; many sizes, different materials, and tools also if you want to improve your installation methods.  As a last resort, you can send the entire wheel to them and let them do it for you.

I hope this helps you out by giving you other options,

yes go to  http://www.buchananspokes.com
SS spokes, and I think they make a kit for your bike. I got one for my bike for $79 or so.

I just bought a set of SS spokes off ebay for my front wheel. was about $49 I think, but is NOS. Package was covered in dust and the instructions were printed on a machine I think the old timers called a type-writer ;)
Anyway seem to be pretty good quality, called "Meryl's Pro Wheel Trick Spoke Kit"
But Buchanen's is great too. AND they'll lace your wheel if you buy the kit from them and give them an extra $80-ish for their trouble. So $160 plus shipping the hub and rim both ways. I think polishing is extra.
Good luck,
