“Zeus was founded by Luis Arregui in Eibar, Spain in 1926. That makes the company about 10 years older than Campagnolo. Arregui held over 105 patents, and the great catalog was published in commemoration of him after his death…. Zeus was the only company in modern times to build a complete professional bicycle (frame and components).”
Richard Hallett

were traditional in their construction details and form, and most distinctive in their obvious use of Zeus components.
