Dinger!

I thought this was a good looking project… and you might too: a new, high quality, well designed bell.

I’d rock it.

Looks good, but it’s not loud enough.

Definitely more sleek than my Crane but I haven’t found one louder than mine…yet.

This is my favorite part of the description: “Moreover, modulation is key: from a light courtesy “ding” while passing another rider to an alarming “DING-DING-DING” to grab a driver’s attention.”

Also, made in Connecticut! My home state. Apparently, this factory almost ceased production when it burned down last year: http://bigstory.ap.org/article/burned-out-conn-bell-factory-resumes-production

That looks awesome. Thanks for sharing.

As a note I didn’t have bells for my bikes so I funded the project. I think I’ll wait to determine how loud they are until I have them in person. But the sound in the example was so clear and crisp that I think it will cut through a lot of background noise on the trail. I also liked it because :ahem: it was a pretty sound. Maybe it won’t annoy people as much as some other bells/ methods I’ve heard. We’ll see!
