I'm attempting to decipher a meaning for the stamped imprints on the BB of most Pogliaghis. One side of the BB has the frame size stamp and the other side has some sort of initials. My bike D882 has TS. Another bike D878 has the same TS. I've seen one bike with RUTH, and another with RENZ 1....My guess is that this stamp was to identify the person or bike shop that placed the frame order with Sante Pogliaghi. Could this be a way to keep track of frames in a building shop? The owner of D878 has the original receipt from "*T*he *S*poke" bike shop in Boulder, CO. The person who sold me my bike 20 years ago told me he bought it when he was living in CO. Any thoughts from other Pogliaghi owners or list members would be great.
