Razesa was not a trade team, but a frame manufacturer. They were/are Spanish and were closely affiliated with Zeus. Zeus Cyclery, the US Zeus importer, showed in their mid-80's catalogs Razesa frames with full Zeus gruppos. I don't know the exact relationship between Zeus and Razesa. There may have been some overlapping ownership or Razesa may have built some of the higher-end Zeus-branded frames, especially near the end. I've heard there were recently still Razesa frames being sold in Spain, but I don't know if the company still exists or if someone just bought the name. BH, for example, evidently bought the Zeus name and when I was in Spain a few years ago, there were BH-made Zeus-branded bikes for sale with mid-range Campy gruppos. Perhaps BH bought the Razesa name as well.

    I have one of these, too, and ride or race it fairly regularly. It is likely a Zeus, perhaps a team bike for some now-forgotten team. I like the ride a great deal. Good luck. Tom Pierce.
