You want a beautiful bell with a deep, crystal clear tone and sustain into next week? Lion. Word.

Hard to go wrong with the classic Tokyo San Esu Universal Sound Bell.

MKS Aero Ti or Van Nicholas Ti. Because the answer is always titanium.

Spurcycle decided to play in Crane's sandbox. 'I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.' (BTW, RockBros will fix you up with pretty much the same thing for 1/2 to 1/5 the price.) I own all three. Go ahead and get the cheap one.

Trigger Bell: killer human factors if your hands are never anywhere but on the grips or drops.

Sogreni bell, if the $50 Spurcycle bell just isn't pretentious enough.

King Cage Bar Bell. Spin it off its mounting post and it doubles as a shot glass.

Ne Plus Ultra: Airzound. Airzound.
Except that people driving cars are supposed to stop for pedestrians in the crosswalk, and bicyclists are supposed to follow the same rules, so simply slowing down to go around them makes more sense. Of course you don't get the fun of scaring them with a horn.
