I've toyed with fixing it but it's such a comfy ride for longer distances. It's a bit of a mystery bike and I think it may date from after Sante's era, but it's sweet.
Are you the Oliver from the Whitstable FNRttC, who travelled back on the train to Greenwich with me? And was near the front of the 2008 DunRun - on which I was riding the Pogliaghi?
Ha, small world, yes, that sounds uncannily like me! My Pogliaghi is definitely long post-Sante--not a problem as it's still a decent frame. I don't really think you can get Santes. At least not easily, and you can't just 'find' them--they look too distinctive. My brother and I built up mine from f+f with fairly mongrel parts but still a nice bike.
Unfortunately I didn't notice your Pogliaghi on the DD. There was a bit of riding to do! :)
Nice to bump into you again, let's meet on a ride again soon!
