Really nice. I just ordered a Model 7 and a LeadStream myself.

I ordered a model 7 and 8 myself. I will order a LeadStream when they have a version that matches the ClickStream I own (sold out before I could get it).

I got purple, but I want orange and also the black + red

Not sure about the 8. At a glance, I don’t care for how fat the end cap flange is compared to the rest of the pencil. Curious design choice

Where are you guys ordering from? I have tried the spokedesign website several times over the last couple of days and get a connection reset error. Cleared cookies and restarted my computer to no avail.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Tim

P.S. Will post a new thread soon on my mechanical pencil journey…

I have not had issues getting in.

Have you tried a different browser? Or from your phone?

I’ll give another computer/browser a try and see if that works.

Now don’t everyone laugh at once - I do not have a cell phone! Yes, hard to believe but it is true. Swore them off once I retired 7 years ago and there has been a rare time when I felt like I was missing something. Not having a cell phone is almost as liberating as not having a job. :clown_face:

I am looking forward to the day -

Come on in - the water is fine! (applies to both concepts)

Wait, is that the theme from Jaws I hear playing? :hear_no_evil_monkey:

I don’t know about not having a phone or a job but I will say that being without Facebook for the past ten years has been very liberating also.

Apparently the Orenz tip fits some or all the new ones with no modifications.
Please check and report back.

How does the Lead Stream feel to hold? I have the ballpoint and find it pretty uncomfortable to hold. But the modified grip on the pencil looked nice.

It’s not bad to hold, but I have large hands and tend to hold the pencil high up.

So I tried spokedesign on another device and browser and it failed to connect because of suspicious activity and a server in the connection chain blocked it. Nobody else having issues/problems?

I did try again with temporarily disabling Norton Auto-Protect and Smart Firewall but to no avail.

Color me stupified! :face_with_spiral_eyes:

I never had problems connecting to their site, but you’re not missing much: everything is always out of stock :wink:

Just discovered that the spokedesign url was being blocked by Spectrum (my internet provider) via their Security Shield service. After deactivating I was able to connect!

Thought this might help anyone else encountering connection issues.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! :turkey: :turkey: :turkey:
