*snort*..
Geez nice helmets are expensive!!!
*ahem* tee hee..ian slaps my behind when we cycle together some days.. The bell would cause an accident..

I used to put my bell on the vertical section of my stem.

show us a picture of your cockpit and we'll see what we come up with. I have my bell on my bars, but my computer is on my stem.

You could put one of those Minoura Space Grip gizmos on your handlebars. Maybe with a little re-arranging of the stuff on the handlebars, you can get the bell somewhere where it works for you.
On my commuter, I mounted a bell, upside down, to the bitter end of my bar ends. It works great for me.2007 Seven ID8 - Bontrager InForm

CC, I bought a bell adapter for mine. It's available most anywhere and it's a plastic gizmo that you can mount your bell (or anything) to it and wraps around any size handlebar.

I've been considering a bell to my road bike for all the above reasons, and--it's the only thing the geese at our park respond to! I guess they've gotten used to humans, but moved for my bell. When I hopped on my trusty hybrid the other day, I realized it was mounted to the shifter/brake brace somehow. I'll take a pic when I get home.

How big is your top tube? Could you mount it near the handlebars there? I put a compass there for a while, because I ran out of room on the handlebars. Worked pretty well.
