In my continuing effort to clean up extra framesets and bicycles I have scattered about in the basement...I am offering up a Bike or frame. Not sure what yet. But it is a pretty unique set up that probably would not sell as a complete so it will probably end up being just a frameset. I would prefer to keep it complete but if I have different interest. I will part out.

I had the bicycle equipped as a fixed gear but it is a road frameset.

23 inch Zeus frameset, vintage is 70s. original partial sticker said Reynolds tubing. I have had this bicycle repainted and new decals placed on it. It isn't a professional paint and not perfect by any means. There are a couple areas of chips, runs, and where the paint just isn't the best but it still looks good. It will come with a Zeus pump that has matching paint stripes on it. The frameset has dropout screw adjusters, one set of bottle bosses. Downtube shifter braze-ons. It will come with a Zeus NOS Cosmos headset. standard seat post binder, not a zeus binder. Paint is metallic blue in color. Frame was primed, painted, and received several coats of clear coat. Frameset as described above price $300.

If interested in complete as fixed. Read below. Parts: Zeus crankset, 175mm. nicely fluted, was NOS with some slight shop wear. I have very few miles on it myself. Zeus chainring. Drilled out 44t. very nice. Was NOS with slight shop wear and now lightly used. wheelset: Zeus Cosmos hubs laced to Fiamme tubular rims. 36 spokes. Tubular tires in good shape and hold air very well. hubs were NOS when built up and very few miles. Zeus Skewers, once again, were NOS with few miles on them now. Surly 18t cog, very nice and practically new. It is offtopic. Just on there currently with lockring. ITM Goccia stem, 135mm. Very nice aero design. off topic. Modolo bars, not much to say...just bars. Not so fancy tape. no pedals included.

Priced as complete. $450.

That's all for now, til the next search of the basement reveals another hidden frame in the corner or on a hook. Thanks for looking, email offlist if interested.
Thanks
