Brooklyn huh? Mention "Mangano's " to the owner and see if bells go off. Imported Bianchi, Dei, Legnano, and the first to import Campagnolo ( this according to the grandson Larry). The shop was located on Ave. U off Ocean Parkway until about 10 years ago.
      Also John Eisenmann's shop on Irving Ave. (importer of Seiber and Durkopp). ciao, John T.Pergolizzi N.Y.C. now Brooklyn originally
