They talk about that in "The Custom Bicycle" by Michael J. Kolin & Denise de la Rosa.

I do not have the book open in front of me but I think they say that Sante says he uses silver but they observe him using SifBronze or similar. That sort of F.T. Bologna is also typical of the misinformation that many builders and writers promulgate... Take it all with a grain of salt.
