They did, however, like the Zeus alloy freewheel.

These things are what make a reputation...

I had one of these freewheels. Six-speed, beautifully made. I bought it new. I used it for regular training and commuting for about two weeks, when I noticed that it was shedding all over my chain..then it started skipping.

These freewheels were designed, near as I can figure, for single use, over, say, one race or one stage, then they needed new cogs. The bodies were more beautifully made than those of any freewheel before or since that I know of...but the cogs were good for one race.
