My understanding is that when Zeus frames and components went under, the frame building operation was revived under the name Razesa. (Maybe Razesa was making the frames all along, and just sold them to Zeus?)

Anyhow, around 1990, you could buy Razesa frames in Germany, and the word was that they were made by the same people that used to make the Zeus bikes. -- Jan Heine, Seattle Editor/Publisher Vintage Bicycle Quarterly c/o Il Vecchio Bicycles 140 Lakeside Ave, Ste.

If I recall correctly from vague memories,,I was told that Razesa was a Spanish frameset that was sometimes sold with Zeus components. I believe Nashbar sold out the last of these frames in this country. I have no idea as to the quality. having never seen them, but the photos in the Nashbar catalogue sure looked flashy!! I will happily stand corrected if incorrect...Pat
