The forum had another thread within the past year or so which got into a discussion about Zeus frame ends being employed on some Raleigh (& Carlton) models of the later 1960's and early 1970's. One member posted that the Zeus Gran Sport road ends set was actually contract manufactured in Britain by Reynolds. If this is correct then the parts would have been right handy...and done under the TI umbrella!
