TWSBI ECO Black vs Pelikan 140

It uses cartridges, but doesn’t come with a converter. The TWSBI Eco is a great pen that may be more than you are thinking of spending ($30) but is a really nice pen that could be a buy it once and done. It is only bottle fill, and that adds about $10 for ink, but the pen is great and hold a lot of ink. Depending on your use this can be a factor

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

Now writing with this pen is where I have my problems. I compared it to the Lamy Safari and Metropolitan Pilot which are both cheaper than the TWSBI ECO and both write several orders of magnitude smoother than the TWSBI ECO. This pen is incredibly scratchy and this was directly comparing to the other 2 pens with 2 different inks. Carbon Ink Black and Waterman Serenity Blue

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...

I really really enjoy writing with this pen. I got a Pilot Metropolitan last year so when I initially picked this one up, I was a little put off by how light it felt in comparison. but after a few weeks of using it I'm super happy with the weight difference - this one really glides across the page (in a Clairefontaine notebook) and it's really nice to be able to switch between a lighter pen and a weightier one. it is also of course very cool & useful to see how much ink is left in the pen

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