..yes, and in the shadow of that Velodrome, several NYC/Bronx frame builders worked---- Henry Damirell, Willi Appelhans....
Damirell's crippled widow (Kay) maintained a bike shop there ("The Wheel") ,first on Broadway and then further north, until about 1990 or so-- Adolph Juner was part of their circle of friends.
