My Zeus spindle looks more like an ISO type. Zeus is supposed to have copied Campanglo a lot so maybe they tapered their cranks like it. However pre '94 Campy it was closer to JIS than ISO. This would explain the fit gap if Arregui crank is added later and it is ISO. But being Arregui and Torrot both basque companies it appears to me more natural have used originally Arregui cranks and not Stronglight. I tryed upload a few pics but I need to have 10 post done for that.

The forum has had a few threads on Torrot cycles.

If you have not done so already you could use the on-site search function to bring them up.

Torrot marque history is interesting. It issues from what was originally the Terrot agent of Espana. For some reason the manufacturer wished to take it away from them so they responded by creating a new marque one letter away from Terrot.

By this time Terrot may have ceased their manufacture of motorcycles. The marque was acquired by Peugeot in 1958 who kept it alive for several years by manufacturing Peugeot built cycles bearing the Terrot name. AFAIK Peugeot allowed the Terrot name to close by 1965. There is a France based club for the owners of Terrot products; they have a good deal of historical material archived at their web site.

Will look forward to seeing your Torrot whenever you are able to begin a thread on it.
