Zeus Pista 1970/80's - "Poor mans Campagnolo" + "Lava Lo-Pro"

No way.. literally just what I needed. Many internet reps to you sir!

32h tubular set in silver and 36h grey clincher and some silvers for anything other project that might pop up. Just need to double check they not the hookless type.

Again many thanks Davie :-)

No dramas!

Was thinking of getting some myself, but I need a 32h and 36h of the silver tubs.. which is proving to be an annoying combination to find :-/

Will keep my eyes open for some. Ive got the 32h tubs and hubs but could really do with some clinchers.

Made the most of the sun yesterday -

Zeus Pista Track Frame 55cm Spain - LFGSS SPFG

I need this so bad.

Which bar tape is that?

LOVE the bar end plug!!! a nice touch

Some Raleigh brown suede tape I found on ebay a while back. Will probably switch it up soon as it wears quite quickly.

Ah shame, it looked nice.

This little number just arrived in the post from barca, very very faded but 100% original.

all you have to do is source an original watercarrier from the 80's to follow you while you train. (original team bike and kit too, of course)

that seller might be of interest to you.

Thanks for the link, will keep an eye out on new things.

This arrived the other day before the forum went down. Lots of small stories, history and pages with endless details. Has photos of the factory at work plus all the other Zeus products.

Ah nice find!

If you get a chance, could you take a photo/scan of the frame on page 100..? I'd like to see how the geometry/lug work matches up with my frame but I only have really shitty quality scans of this catalogue..

Cheers!

zeus track bike... or frame for sale on here... or ebay.

@daviewonder, sorry for the late reply. will try get that done for you asap!

Hello from Spain,

I think that´s not a Zeus Frame. Some details are Zeus, like Campagnolo in another frames....

Take a look at this blog about Zeus, is very good and can be accessed catalogs nº101 to nº105.

and a short history of basque cycling in: http://www.euskonews.com/0587zbk/gaia58703es.html

@Zeus79 Hello!

I know that website, its very good. I have a few of the catalogs.

How do you know its not a Zeus? and how would you explain these -

I understand the frames in the M herdia colours before may not be anything to do with Zeus, but im sure the one with the Nerwig tubing is a Razesa. No one else as far as I know used that tubing, it was custom made or their own brand which they only used.

I had a Razesa and now I have two Zeus road. I think I was wrong. It can be a Zeus frame. I didn´t know that fork head, but appears in the 1980 catalog. Ciclos LETONA manufactured first Zeus and after a excision, Razesa. I think this picture is from the early 80's and manufactured by razesa. Maybe in the Razesa own "bike@razesa.com" they can give you more information. By the way, they have for sale a 1991 time trial bicycle of Miguel Indurain in 14.000 euros ....

Have you sorted wheels yet, I have some Zeus pista l/f hubs on Championat de Monde which I was keeping for no reason other than I like them.

11:40 I see Zeus poster :)

@Si46, thanks but I have got the hubs ready, just been pretty shit at getting the spoke measurements for the tubs. Need a clincher wheelset though and tempted to get these, but will prob hold out for some wolber ones.

@anidel good find that, got a similar one that came with the catalogue I got the other day. Still need to find space to put it up somewhere.

Been after a zeus 6 or 7 speed freewheel forever, anyone seen one?
