    I don't think there is much stopping me from buying a bike bell and painting it myself. I could tap into my artistic side. I might have to tap deep.
    Thanks TE! You pushed me half way over!

    You can't use house paint, you know.

    I just paid $162 for a saddle bag....

    But I like the idea of painting it yourself!

    I have an espresso cup bike bell. The built-in clamp doesn't fit my handle bars. Time to take out the tools. Ah-oh!

    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!

    The coffee cup bell is so fun! I didn't see the hamburger bell when I opened the second link, though. Can I see? Please, oh please??

    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.
