Pogliaghi Bicycle Frame serial numbers
to establish approximate manufacture date...
Educated but unsure guessing as to serial number dating...

(Note: early production was low, 300-500 frames a year until the early 1970s, according to *The Custom Bicycle*)

1950-1960:  #1 - #2500 +/- 500

1960-1970:  #2500 -  #8000 +/- 1000

1970-1983:  #8000-14000 +/- 1000

 (There is conflicting evidence over the quantity of production in the mid/late 70s. Some data suggests about 800 frames a year at that time. Other data suggests many fewer frames per year. We need more confirmed data to know exactly when the frames 9000-14000 were made. Was it 1970-1978? Or was it 1974-1982 or so? At this point the data conflicts.)

Charles Andrews

58cm c-t road. Restored by Brian Baylis to the original Faema Team colors of red and white. Original foil graphics retained. Diamond cutouts. Brazed-on cable-stops for front derailleur (a 60s feature that makes the frame impractical for use with the Record derailleur that *has* a cable stop already.)
