Amir:

Regarding Zeus team bike colors, there have been many Zeus teams. Below I have listed some of the teams and their colors.

Preliminary to that, I note that silver and yellow seem to have a lot of significance. The earliest Zeus catalog I've seen is the 101 catalog which is silver and yellow. During the height of the Zeus-2000 period in the late seventies, the Zeus-2000 components came in silver and yellow boxes. The Zeus jersey offered in the 70's catalogs was yellow.

Here are some teams and colors, culled from color pictures in catalogs, bike flyers, and advertising posters: circa '72: Victoria team: Red circa '72: Estadia team: Copper circa '72: Henk Kokke Wielersport: Yellow 1975: SuperSer: Red 1976-78: SuperSer: Red with White head tube 1978: Zoppas Zeus Ruch d'Or: Silver 1980: Henninger Aquila Rossa Zeus: Silver circa '82: GD Zeus Baque: Copper 1986: Fagor: Red and White

I am trying to restore an early 70's (?) Zeus track bike and would like to go with team colors and original components.
