where can I get some titanium replacement spokes

[Donny]

Gee, hello everybody!
Where can I get some replacement spokes for my mountain bike rear wheel?
I've tried all over the internet, local and not-so-local shops, even Changda Tilon
in China, trying to find Titanium spokes.  I had originally bought TI spokes through the
'ColoradoCyclist' website, but they don't carry it any longer.  I've hit the 'Marwi' website,
which seemed pretty prospective, but that's dealer sales, and I'm consumer. 
The specs I'm working with are 290mm length drive side, 14gauge round.
Please feel free to respond and make use of BicycleNet's fine forum, and,
Thanks for your information.

I did a check check and found that a company called Marwi makes spokes in 290mm, 14g.
They can be bought at;

Hello Veloforum readers,   Let me update the post; I've made a mistake citing 290mm spoke length for a rear wheel.  The correct length was 260mm.  Can you believe I ordered 290mm TI by mistake?  A
Marwi dealer ordered and sold me a bag of 290's for $36, 18 spokes.  I phoned back to try to get
the 260's, and the dealer couldn't swing the same deal, the correct price was supposed to be $90+.
So, I posted up the bag of 290's to Ebay, and had no buyers.  I hit anEbay seller to buy steel 260's and
262's, getting a fine, quick deal.  Laced and trued it all up, and got going again.
Now I'm wondering if there's recycling value to scrap Titanium wire...

Hey, Thanks hachu.  I had just seen the translated page using 'BabelFish'.  Maybe those spokes
are sold as the 'Pillar' brand in the US.  The Alchemy bike shop in New Mexico had them listed for $4 each.
The Rival brand hubset looked interesting.
