Timeline of Zeus components in South Florida as I've discovered them, beginning sometime in 2008:
2008: I pick up a Zeus 2000 RD at a local shop. Not perfect, but a nice piece. This was my first local Zeus sighting. Without a doubt, that part did
not arrive in the bottom of that shop's grimy bin via eBay or any internet sale.
2009: Framebuilder Mike Terraferma informs me that one of the local riders owns a Zeus 2000 and Zeus Supercronos group - purchased new and ridden hard. I have yet to see them, but Mike has. Haven't had the time to meet the fellow.
2011: Two weeks ago, I do the yard sale rounds. I find a fellow at one sale who used to work at Dade Cycle (from '79 through '81). Says he owns a complete Zeus 2000 group.
Today: I drop by one of the LBS's and unearth a first-generation Zeus Gran Sport rear derailer, what appear to be shifters predating the aluminum ones on Velobase, and a front derailer which matches the Zeus Criterium - except for the logo:
Who said you can't find Zeus in the land of Eisentraut, Weigle, Litton, and Redcay?
