  With a heavy heart and lots of thinking, it's time I sold my collection of Zeus parts..

  I might be a year too late... but if you're looking to sell your Zeus 102 Catalogue let me know :)

  @BigH

  Out of interest, what spoke length did you use when you built your Zeus/Akront wheels?

  I'm finally getting around to lacing a pair of 36h old logo Zeus track hubs to matching Akront tubular rims. For a 3cross pattern, I'm calculating ~296mm for the front spokes and ~295mm for the rear spokes. Any thoughts..?

  Cheers!

  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 :-/

  Have you come across these guys? http://www.standbikeme.com/product-category/vintage/wheels/

  They're in Valencia and are selling some pretty sweet vintage Spanish gear. (no 28h rims though..)

• Wanted: Zeus track/pista cranks

  in Wanted Adverts • 10 years, 8 months

  

  Hi all,

  I'm after a set of Zeus track cranks, 165mm with the old Zeus logo, (preferably BSC, but I will settle for French thread!) i.e.:

  I'm trying to find original Zeus running gear for an early 70s Zeus frame of mine

  After much searching, I've got almost all the Zeus parts I need - the major thing I'm still missing is the cranks... If anyone has a set going spare, please let me know!!

  Unfortunately, I'm mostly in Australia, which might complicate payment/shipping. Am happy to pay over paypal and can always get things shipped to friends in the UK if that's easier.

  Cheers,
  David.

  H, do you think these headset parts could be french thread? (still waiting for a reply from the seller)

  All the british Zeus headsets i've seen are stamped BSC and this one doesn't appear to have a stamp...
