    It figures I couldn't get back online yesterday! Sorry Melissa, I guess I was late on getting back to you! I lasted this long without a bell...

    OMG tho, I checked ebay before and they hardly had any! I like the skeleton bell and the one that looked like a sundae. The funny thing about the hamburger bell is I hardly eat meat. I have no idea what the fascination was with the hamburger bell.

    So many bells so little time.

    I saw this guy on the trails a few years ago and he had this little skeleton head on a spring that was around a bell, and as he rode it tinkled. We called him tinkerbell because he was a bit arrogant. I on the other hand, wanted to push him off the bike and steal his bell Not sure if you would call it a bell. But it was cool because it let people know you were coming.

    bell

    I want a cool looking bell but still feel dorky having one. I'm getting a bit tired of relying on my voice when I go round blind corners.

    I don't want to attach the bell to my bike though. I'd rather have it on my helmet or wrist or something. A helmet bell, that sounds cool!

    Sundial, where did you get yours?

    sundial, that's a very cool bell. I have to pace myself with the bell hunt. I could wind up with one for every day of the week for both my bikes!

    Oh man those are some cool bells!

    Please let us know what you decided to get and where!

    I don't have a bell but I had this "squeekie" cow on my old GT Outpost.....and we really don't have to talk about my cow fetish now do we, sigh.

    I love both of them! Nice choices (are you getting both?)

    I love the bell on your bike, sundial. Very subtle and sophisticated.
