I just bought it from my LBS. I guess they are brand new. Made for 26.0 and 31.8 bars. Clearly modeled after the ones that had the kickstarter but it sounds like a crane.

Small price to pay for added safety, especially when you compare it to the cost of some of our bikes. Though, I do agree it's BS to charge more for noir.

The difference being that Thomson anodizes every seatpost wether it's silver or black and the bell that is brass doesn't need an additional coating.

Black Nitto stuff is also more expensive than silver for the very same reason.

That's a nice little wrench. I made a stubby ratchet for myself out of an extra Husky I had: Stubby 15mm, Dremel Cut - Album on Imgur
I keep a 15mm on it and carry it on longer rides.
I recently ordered new tires for my ride. I got some Panaracer T-serv protex 700x25's with the reflective sidewall. Then I'll feel OK yanking the ugly reflectors off my wheels.

They also have nice japanese-themed painted bells.
They should sell these individually in store like all the other combination wrenches, even the ratcheting ones. Instead of forcing you to buy the $17 set.
Harbor Freight has a stubby set of combination wrenches with a 15mm too which you can get under 10 if you time your purchase right and stack a coupon.

If you get the spacer mounted bell, get the one with the striker and not the spring. The spring bell rings everytime I hit a bump.
