Yojimbo's Garage no longer selling spokes?
Just checked ebay and nada from them anymore. Can it be true? Anyone know the inside scoop on them?

There must be stress involved with wheel-building; when I was getting my Schwinn Factory training at their facility in N.J. back in the Eighties, we were specifically told that their method allowed you to stop at any point to take a coffee break and be able to pick up right where you left off.

One would think that the real question with Yojimbo's is "Do they still feed human hands to stray dogs?"

I'm fatigued by this whole thread. Plus, it's making me cross.
