I was just wondering if the County Comm ladybugs are the only ones (Ladybug) :) that have screw together constuction. Thanks

No. All Ladybugs have gone to screwed pivots as a CQI (constant quality improvement) measure. Newer runs will have it, older ones will be pinned. It's best to ask the dealer prior to purchasing.

Personally I like pinned models. Glad they went to screwed for manufacturing/warranty and repair purposes but don't mind the old style.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that many (but not all) of the main line FRN Spydies are going to screwed construction - at least for the pivots. Certainly true for the Endura/Delica and Salt lines...

You are correct. Pretty much the whole FRN Salt line as I know it. The liner equipped flagship from Seki have had screwed pivots since inception (D4/E4/Stretch/etc). I'm sure the Manbug as well.

I know the Cento3 hasn't. Not sure on the Native C41. :o
