His name is Greg Hohn. I lived in Greenwich for a few years when I raced.
Greg worked for Gita and used to bring our Merckxs and Campy stuff to our
friend Bob's shop, where we would assemble them. After I got to know him
better, he used to let me come over his house and get stuff. His basement
was filled with all kinds of rare, neat stuff, in addition to the stuff he
distributed for Gita. He had a cool green Derosa in my size, and lots of
cool Italian bikes, iirc: Pogliaghi, DeRosa, Masi. He explained how bb drop
affects standover height, how steep seat tube angles affect top tube height,
and other cool geometry stuff I didn't know. Lots of drawers of classic
Campy, but I have not seen nor spoken with him in years.
