rOtring 600 vs Pelikan 140

IMO the Rotring is too expensive at that price point. You can get a Rotring 600 for $30, which is practically the same pen without the retractable tip. I prefer to find pens with the LEAST amount of moving parts so there's a decreased risk of mechanical failure.

Pelikan 140 with a stenographer nib. Probably won't get one though. It's hard enough to find them in the states, more so at a price I'd be willing to pay. I really like how they look, but I haven't been impressed with Pelikan nibs enough to justify their hyper inflated prices

I have average size hands (maybe a tad larger than average) for a guy and this pen feels tiny. So tiny it hurts my hand to write with for a while. Also, as others have stated, it clicks everytime you lift and place down because the cartridges do not have a good fit inside the pen. The actuall metal body build quality is very nice, but I will not be using it as it is uncomfortable to write with

they they did make a little bit cheaper. Modell The omelet as you can see Fantastic. All of them were yet beautifully to the to the pressure of writin...

It lacks heft, the clicking mechanism is spongy, overall it just isn’t the same. Do yourself a favour, scour eBay for an original, they were just better.

Is that worth it? Maybe. But if 1oz is really that important, a disc brake bike probably isn't the right rig for you.
