http://ebay.com/<blah> can anyone date this? I know very little about pog's other than there were some later ones built by Rossin (?) that are not "worthy". So, is this one a Sante built Pog? And how does this fit with the whole argument about did the master (who's name is on the frame) REALLY build it (Or even touch it for that matter). Talk about a can of worms. >>

I believe that this is a Basso made frame... in view of rear stay treatment, other details.Also, I am pretty certain that frames built in Santa's workshop did not have the personalized dropouts. That was a later introduction to build brand image. IMO this may be a "real" Pogliaghi according to some, but I wouldn't be interested in it.
