About when, did Zeus switch from using the old logo (Zeus on a planet/sphere) to the new logo (Zeus in an oval)? Anyone have an approximate date?

And related to that question: I just picked up what I believe to be early 70's Zeus bike, pretty decent shape, all Zeus equipped. Neat, but not in perfect shape, minor paint chips and surface rust here and there. Unfortunately what I missed in the dim light of the former owner's basement, was that the left crank arm is cracked right at the top (BB end) of the spindle. Long crack too. I wouldn't ride it like that.

So I'm looking for a Zeus left arm 170 mm, old logo, not anodized, and preferably not cracked. :-) Does not need to be pristine. Let me know if you have anything.
