Hunter Retro? 17" spoked wheels? (to lace to my 650 hubs)

I'm interested in hearing what might be known about the 17" spoked wheels that I understand will be available on the Hunter Retro.

If these hoops are available as spares I'm sure a wheel shop like Buchannon's in the US or Central-Wheel among others in the UK can easily make up spoke sets to lace them to our 650 hubs....

Does anyone know anything yet or is it too early? They appear to be 36 spoke wheels and should work just fine.

I've also been noticing some off-the-shelf-aftermarket stainless spoke sets for various Honda CRF models as well as many other bikes. These look to be the same style as the RE spokes, and are probably available in the correct length to lace our hubs to these wheels, whatever that length is... More research and an online spoke length calculator for this type of spoke would really be nice.

I've always referred to: http://earlymotor.com/leon/misc/html/spoke.htm
But I'm not sure if it has much info on this type of spokes, time for a re-read.
