FW: [CR]E-bay Pog, is it the real deal?

As Dale already said, this is a Basso made Pogliaghi. While the Rossin made ones were just relabeled mid class bikes without any connection to the real ones, Basso at least tried to build replicas with some Pogliaghi characteristics. The decals are similar to the old ones but more important is the flat fork crown and round fork blades, very different to the normal Bassos or any other bikes of the late 80s. I see them in the same league as Merckx Molteni replicas and Bob Jackson made Hetchins'.

Found this on German E-bay and I don't think I'm outting something that anyone from list is bidding on (if so apologies to all). 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.
