I hate to do this but I must sell this project. I began to get this together to finish up last year but due to unforseen real life problems, I am forced to sell. So here it is.

61 cm c-t, 58cm c-c top tube length. New paint job with a few minor scratches but overall really sharp and clean. orange fork also. The orange is an awesome color. Zeus foil type sticker on seat tube (the decal has some wrinkles in it where it looks like someone clamped it up on...not me!). I was told it was a 1974 Zeus when I bought it. It is also supposed to be a very high end frameset and i can say it is extremely nice lugs, dropout adjustment screws, very clean. It has, I believe, a Zeus headset. It has a Zeus crankset, 43 tooth Zeus chainring with Two Cyclocross guideplates on either side. The Cyclocross guideplates are also Zeus. Zeus chainring bolts. The crankset is milled out with the milled out areas painted a blue color (actually looks really cool). The left side crankarm is NOS (no blue). crankset is 175mm. no pedals. It has what I believe to be a high end Zeus BB. I was told it was one of the best they made. Super clean on outside. I have never had to take it apart but it is super smooth...I never put any miles on this. Zeus SuperCronos NOS rear derailleur. chincy Dia compe rear brake on the bike but it worked well on my other bike. Campagnolo Triumph brake levers, hoods dry but still intact and not crumbly. Top tube cable guides for the rear brake...one dia compe, one shimano. suntour downtube shifter cable guide. I have a suntour powerratchet bar end shifter. WTB dirt drop handlebars. Orange cloth handlebar tape (with some spare rolls). New KMC chain, New 7 speed freewheel. Also has a made in Japan Strong seatpost which appear new. It came with the bike, and a NOS Zeus 2000 exclusice saddle, very nice in black! I can't remember the type of stem off the top of my head...but there is one there I believe! I currently have only a rear wheel on this bike. It was a 700c trued hybrid (wider) rim with a vittoria mastercross used tire with I believe shimano hub. I am not sure on the asking price so as the rules of the list go. I will place a price which of course is widely negotiable...never up higher. not an auction. serious inquiries and offers. I will say $500 shipped or OBO.

Raleigh Sport ladies (not mixte) 3 speed. excellent shape for it's age. 1973. Sturney Archer AW 3 speed hub. bronze green (looks british green to me). All original decals which remain mostly intact...maybe one partial. original Raleigh fenders with raleigh decals on fenders (really cool looking fender also), original tires still on it although they will need replaced. I don't believe anything was ever really changed on this entire bicycle. It pretty much reads original across the board...red R bolts on the cranks, etc. it sat in a basement for many years and hasn't a spot of rust that I could see on the entire frameset. I was asking $100 shipped. or arrange for pickup.

Thanks for looking. Email offlist if interested.
