I don't know to which shop in Hartford you are referring, but I would be interested as well. The only one I can think of would be Ray Taksar's shop which last I knew was in the South End, but I don't even know if it still exists. Ray's father used to sell Legnanos back in the fifties.
My favorite shop in the Hartford area is Berlin Bike, in Berlin, Ct. which is vintage friendly. Bruce and Chris are great guys, and sometimes you will find Listmember Mark Hoffman there.
