Other specifications:
We had a few customers specifically ask about the compatibility of vintage Suntour freewheels with these hubsets.  As a result, we threaded a few different Suntour freewheel models on this rear hub and noted no problems.  I should also confirm we threaded a Suntour ultra (narrow) 7-speed freewheel on this rear hub and there was enough space to accommodate this freewheel.  So as we mention above (and discuss in more detail below), the rear hub that is part of this hubset should have enough drive-side spacing to accommodate just about any 5/6/7-speed freewheel.
We have not had the pleasure in dealing with many Zeus bicycle parts over the years.  Although, when we inquire of those that do, the one general comment that we hear is that Zeus was the premier maker of bicycle parts in Spain.  I mention this, because even a cursory inspection of this vintage hubset lends support to this claim.   I understand Campagnolo is generally considered the European benchmark for vintage (and current) bicycle components, but I would contend this Zeus hubset compares to some Campagnolo offerings from the same era.  I am not exactly sure where this Zeus hubset would best match-up on the Campagnolo hierarchy of product offerings, but it's in the discussion.
A few hairline scratches in the chrome finish, but can only see up close and when the light hits it just right. No spoke marks, never laced. Functionally, I see no problems in the sense that the threading on the rear hub is fine and none of the spoke holes show evidence of previous lacing.
