It is probably Razesa. They did indeed build the upper end Zeus bikes during those final years of Zeus. I was told this some years ago when searching the web for info on Razesa. I managed to talk to a gentleman who worked for Razesa in Spain and he supplied the information. I have his contact somewhere in my piles of cycling info. The Razesa's of now are aluminum. They still made some oversized "mega" tube Razesa's during the early 90s as well and Team Amaya used them.
