Sante Pogliaghi was a born on 23 September, 1913, in Milan, Italy. At the age of 11, Sante Pogliaghi started working with his uncle Sante Brambilla, a famous frame manufacturer from the 1920s. He quickly learnt how to weld and soon became one of the best craftsman ever. Known as the master of tailor bicycles, Sante Pogliaghi’s flagship was the tandem track frame. His track frames were usually tested in the close Vigorelli circuit. In 1947, after his uncle death, Pogliaghi opened his own tiny workshop in the city center of Milan. There he started building custom steel frames, esteemed by both the professional and amateurs riders.

Pogliaghi was a monumental figure in the Italian industry of the racing bicycle and one of the best Italian frame builders of the post Second World War times. He well known for his skills in building customised steel frames. Despite the fact that he mainly built track frames and tandems, Pogliaghi´s frames were also highly esteemed among road racers. He can easily be considered the grandfather of modern road bike design who inspired many others like Colnago or Pinarello.
