Well, maybe, if only for the value of the spare set of spokes. A full wheelbuild with generally-unavailable rims might not be practical(?).
I've sourced parts for these by buying complete, bent Roval wheels at swap meets, so now have a good few spokes laying around.
Good luck finding a worthy rim substitute in the correct "effective rim diameter" (if you wanted to rebuild a pair with new rims).
The hubs are very high quality however, so I can't rule out someone wantind to build up a pair with modern rims, so yes, Jim,
maybe you cut those spokes in haste?
