Pogliaghi tandems were pretty amazing in their constuction details. Described in the Custom Bicycle book as being built up with oversize tubing to fabricate the lugs (oversize tubing frame cut up to form lugs for smaller sized tubing).
My conclusion is that there aren't any vintage tandem collectors out there (vintage tandems were very whippy).
