All this discussion about Dawes and piecework etc. got me thinking (dangerous, I know). Given my Pogliaghi is either an late 1983 or early 1984 frame, who would have built it? I'm pretty sure that Sante might have walked through the shop at least once while some unknown apprentice brazed the frame but that's about as far as I can stretch it. I know Freschi worked as an apprentice at Sante's shop, but who else did? In a similar vein who is the apprentice pictured in "The Custom Bicycle" photo of the Pogliaghi shop? It's winter, snowing in Texas and I'm bored, so I think we need an Italian heated discussion much like the recent Dawes one.
