Ahoy !

Mine is a Zeus "Olympica" (spelling?) from 1970 or 1971. Light metallic blue. Maybe similar to Cinelli blue ? I don't recall the Zeus name for the color.

Another Zeus question. What frame models did they make in the early to mid-70's?

I recall the Competition, Criterium, Suprema. What came immediately before the Competition and immediately after the Suprema?

Can anyone give a digest view of basic differences in those respective frames?

With all the discussion here of interchanging other manufacturers equipment, I'll mention that I went to the lightest SunTour cluster possible, because I could not find Zeus parts and most Campy didn't fit...neither did most components of the 2000 series.

So it isn't just "fun" in collecting, it was "fun" even when the bike was recent.
