Yes Alan. Send Pics. I've seen them but would like a picture. Spiral learning.

Best,
Jim

Fred,

The only pinned agraffes I have encountered were on a 1977 M&H BB. The agraffe looks normal until you get up close. Then you see that there is a steel pin running sideways through the top of the agraffe so that the actual bearing surface is the steel pin, not the brass agraffe. At least I assumed it was steel though maybe a nickel-plated steel. I have a good picture at home. I was going to replace those agraffes, but I decided that they were better, even though 40 years old, than anything I could find new.

I'll send a pic, if anyone is interested.

Alan

I suspect I am not the only one on the list who is puzzled by the term "pinned agraffes." Can someone enlighten me?
