And Now The "minimalistica" Bulkfiller Version

[fountainbel]

Hi fountain pen friends !

The "Minimalistica+" First Production Run -launched on Pi date - has been a great success, thanks !

All sold out within 48 hours, so …. time to announce the "Minimalistica"being the version without clip.

This version will become available as from end May, price is 230 Euros

Note that at the same time the "Minimalistica+" will also be available again at the price of 280€.

Regards, Francis

Francis,

I prefer a broad cursive italic. In the last round only fine and medium points were available. Will there be more nib choices with these?

Thanks,

Kent

Did the material for the bands change? It looked like the prototype had titanium bands. In this picture they look like they are made of white resin.

Yes it did :

"Minimalistica+"- with clip = Titanium furniture

"Minimalistica"- no clip = PETP furniture ( PETP being very hard plastic)

That is disappointing. I understand that Conid is trying to produce a more affordable model, but I would have spent the 40 euro to just get the titanium bands.

Well, there's no vote but if there was I would vote for titanium nands.

Francis, maybe an option to buy the minimilistica + with Ti bands but no clip for 260? Or maybe provide an option on the plus to replace the clip with just a plain Ti band?

 

I like these pens, but I am waiting for the larger king size LE to come out later this year.

Hi fountain pen friends,

Given the requests for titanium furniture, I'm sure this alternative can be arranged.

At least if you are prepared to pay the complementary cost of 20 Euros……

So total cost being 250 Euros with titanium rings

And how about the question I asked above Francis?

What I'm asking is, will there be broad nibs for sale? The last bunch you only offered fine and medium. I can have someone else grind the nib, but a medium is not wide enough for me.

Thanks,

Kent

Beautiful pen you have there sir.

[Edsal17]

250 is definitely reasonable and well worth the cost. The titanium adds a nice touch.

Hi Kent,

Yes, a B nib is possible.

It's good there's a chance of getting minimalistica with titanium bands. I have hard time trying to choose between it and slimline

+1. And if we can be a little greedy, a small stopper might be good as well.

Lovely pen. I think this has convinced me to buy my first Conid. :-) I'm a bit confused though - if we order on the website now, is that like a pre-order? Since you say that they won't be available until May... Or are there a few in stock and ready to go and no more will be made until then? What's the typical lead time between ordering a pen and when it ships out?

Hi Yogalarva,

The pens are made on order, so If you order over the website you will get one.

Production will start early May, and end May the pens will be ready for shipment;

I am getting more and more interested in these pens. Unfortunately I am at the wrong end of the curve that brings availability and money together. I just wish there would be some thought to regular production of some sort (I'm not seeing any mention of this anywhere, but I may have overlooked it) so that when I have saved the money there is actually a pen available to buy!
