Santé Pogliaghi
and the bikes he built.

Pogliaghi bikes have always been ...

a mystery to me. Not much is known about Santé Pogliaghi's personal history. I found scant information on his early years as an apprentice for Brambilla in the 1940s and about his own shop in the 1950s-60s, having narrowed my focus on bikes pre-1970. By sharing these discovered stories, photos and bikes, Pogliaghi's contribution to the history of framebuilding will be more appreciated. This site is dedicated to Santé Pogliaghi and the bikes he built. Enjoy! — Brian
