<------------------ SOLD ------------------> Zeus 2000 bottom bracket - titanium - 118 mm - French threaded (NOS)
Zeus 2000 Titanox traditional non-cartridge type bottom bracket for 68 mm shell - 6Al-4V titanium alloy spindle - square taper - 118 mm width - loose ball bearings (...not supplied) - 35 mm x 1 mm (25.4 TPI) French thread titanium alloy cups - titanium alloy lock ring - M8 x 1.00 x 20 mm titanium alloy crank bolts with 16 mm head / M8 titanium alloy flat washers - model 23000.00 ... [NOS / NIB - consistent with how these were originally sold, this offering does NOT include individual ball bearings (...requires a total of 26 count standard 7/32” sized bearings at 13 per side - available at almost any well stocked LBS) - the 118 mm spindle length is perfectly sized for use in conjunction with any number of French cranksets fitted with double chain rings including contemporary offerings from the likes of both Stronglight and Specialites T.A. - one of the most collectible of those early commercialized titanium bottom bracket assemblies made available to the general public back in the 1970’s - what distinguishes this Zeus 2000 component as being rather exotic even when compared to its peers is the fact that nearly all of its various piece parts are crafted from titanium, not just the spindle itself]
