Good idea on the bell.
I have a brass Crane model bell on my town bike, it's perfect to issue a Zen-like "Ding!" to remind one's self that riding a bike is not a Serious Activity.

Same here!

I modern one, a real one from the 60s or 70s or a modern one in vintage style clothing? I guess a naked lady wouldn't wear vintage clothing.

Haha well I suppose since the comparison is to a cf bike, it would have to be modern. I do see a lot of modern women in vintage clothing around here though.
