Surcycle bike bell; finally a bell worthy of your classic
So a guy came into the shop with one of these on his rig. I liked it so much I've ordered enough for every bike I take on the MuP trails. Finally, a small, well-engineered bell worthy of putting on your vintage beauty; mine's going on the Vanilla and several others. Apologies if someone else posted before (maybe when it was a kickstarter), but these aren't avail in bike shops yet, you have to direct order. Very cool.

Pricey, of course, but very cool.
Spurcycle: better bicycle bells and other enduring bike accessories.

I think so, very hard to tell for sure with any company, but from their website I think so.

Pretty bell and very cool video. I'm not convinced though at $40.

Started out as a kick starter project.
IIRC I believe it's all USA but would need to go through the project emails to be absolutely sure.
It was a fun project to follow through inception.
Great bell that commands attention.

Have not found one better than these yet. VERY loud, and rings for a good 10-12 seconds after being struck. That looks like another small "bing" bell, with a slick design. I'll stick with the Crane. The price alone is worth it, and it's twice as loud.,,,,BD
