[#1950532]

My dad's birthday is approaching and he's requested a bell for his Brompton.. My challenge is now to find the nicest bell I can!

Have seen [url= http://www.ukbikesdepot.com/products.php?plid=m53b34s483p4360&rs=gb ]this[/url], but is there anything nicer out there?

Cheers
Ben

My father in law has one of these

I know it's not a bell, but the noise it makes is bloody hilarious! I didn't expect to find it funny but the tone and quality of the thing really is comedy 🙂

Good luck Ben - I'm not sure how easy they are to get hold of. The Sogreni website may be quite old.

But...

in my experience a bell has to make the classic "bring-bring" noise, or people hear it but don't know what it is.

I'd stay away from those "ping" ones if I were you.

just my 2 pence worth,

Cheers IA, that's what I'd found previously, but for more that £25. Just not sure if I like the design. I think [url= http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RARE-ANTIQUE-BRASS-BICYCLE-BELL-ALARM-PERRY-CO-/360294502936?pt=UK_Collectables_Bicycle_RL ]this [/url]on eBay might get the nod over the MKS if I can't find a Sogreni dealer.

Can't see the Redfish making production in time! Also, I think a bell needs to be mechanical personally.

Looks like [url= http://www.kinetics.org.uk/html/bells.shtml ]Kinetics[/url] have a Sogreni, albeit only the stainless steel one. Maybe give them a call?
