For What Its Worth
My first bike in CANADA was red a RED ZEUS supposedly reynolds through out Pretty as heck with elegant sloping crown Zeus copies of Campag ends Zeus copies of Campag Gran Sport Experience Terrible Headset Pitted in a year Chainrings wore out in 2 years Hubs were Breaking spokes from day one All I can say was the ZEUS copy of the 2 bolt seat post was great! Teach me to buy from Franco's Spain Sold it and bought a PX10 and never look back Except The NORMANDY Hubs bent the axles ATOM Pedal cages fell apart
So you pays your money and you tale your chance
