What you REALLY should do is post in Classic and Vintage. We're far more interested and knowledgeable about "what's this bike?" questions, there.

Anyway, Sante Pogliaghi is considered one of the best Italian framebuilders. Many professionals from cycling's "golden age" rode his frames, often re-badged as other brands. Up until the 1970's, Pogliaghi was producing about 300 or so frames a year. Production increased in the late 70's and Sante himself stopped making frames sometime in the late 1970's, when Marc Rossin (yes, THAT Rossin) ran his shop. This continued until the early 1980's. During this time, his shop produced VERY high-quality frames that may not have been created by the master himself, but still bear an unmistakeable quality. The Pogliaghi frame from the shop's origins through 1982 is notable for a jig-less construction technique--Pogliaghi preferred to tack frames in place rather than use a jig for welding. These "tacks" are detectable by running a finger inside the bottom bracket and other tubes where you can reach the tube-lug joint. Anyway, in the 1980's, the name was sold to Basso, who continued production of the Pogliaghi line for some time. Still nice bikes, but they stopped really being Pogliaghis at this time.
