has anyone heard of this old Brooklyn shop once located on Avenue U in Gravesend ?? maybe some of you BVVW oldtimers ?
I've just come across my second early 60s Italian lightweight bearing their decal; the first being a ca. 1961 Chiorda, campy Gran Sport/Magistroni, universal mod. 61 brakeset.. da latest find is a ca. 1963 Atala, full campy Record, probably had the same centerpull brakes

seems like they dealt with some pretty nice stuff pre bike boom, just curious if anyone has a recollection or anecdote, or maybe another bike that passed through their shop. i wonder what other marques they carried ?
