Jose Maria Marotias was born and learned to weld in Santander. Many pro cyclists bought his frames if they didn’t like their sponsors frames, including Ocaña, Fuentes, and Merckx. When one sees photos of Ocaña on a Zeus bike, it is always a Marotias. Merckx was in love with these frames and rode them for two years.”
