Review by Sri Lanka TaizzReviewed 12/6/2021by Sri Lanka TaizzPortland0 of 1 customers found this review helpful.The perfect bellI've had the brass Crane bell for years, on all my bikes. It has a lovely clear tone and a lot of sustain. I play percussion and really appreciate the sound quality. People look pleased when alerted to a bike passing close to them with this lovely bell. I have an EBike that goes 28MPH so I made sure to get this bell, even tho my bike has a built in horn. When my friend got his new EBike I gifted him with this bell and he loves it. Bonus: you can show support for BLM or other demos by ringing it!

Review by SFValleyCruisingReviewed 6/24/2021by SFValleyCruisingCycling EnthusiastLos Angeles, CA1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Beautiful tone, well made, great value!Beautiful, large brass bell with a pleasant (and loud) ring. Very well made (in Japan), the tone resonates for a long time. Be aware that this is a relatively large and shiny brass bell (not at all stealthy), but it works well, I enjoy owning it, and expect it to last well beyond my lifetime. Highly recommended.

Review by martywoodmanReviewed 4/13/2017by martywoodmanDaily Commuternashville, tn.6 of 6 customers found this review helpful.Classic styling and awesome soundCrane is an established company and makes quality products. This is not the cheapest bell you can buy, but it screams elegance and style! A marvelous, noticeable tone and long decay make it a classic accessory to your ride. Easy to install and versatile in terms of location- you can put it on your handlebars or stem, right or left hand. Glad I bought it!

Review by triwaldausReviewed 9/25/2020by triwaldausCompetitive RacerHouston3 of 3 customers found this review helpful.Retro good looks / sterling soundRetro good looks and no tarnish copper finish combined with authoritative sound will get you noticed on trails crowded with earbud-wearing hobby cyclists and walkers. If you replace the metal clip with a strong rubber band (slice of inner tube works great), the bell goes on and off in seconds, saving yourself embarrassment at the Saturday hammer ride.

Review by PerryReviewed 2/6/2012by PerryCycling EnthusiastN. of Seattle4 of 5 customers found this review helpful.Quality with large soundThe long term durability of the finish is still unknown but should fare well with basic care.
The sound is as good as you would expect from a large diameter, copper bell. The volume is easy to modulate with the spring loaded striker. The mounting bracket will accomodate any bar size. The max volume is as loud as I would want on a multiple use path. A for looks!

Review by GreatDaneReviewed 1/13/2012by GreatDaneCasual CyclistHouston, TX1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Flashy bell with good sound I picked this bell, mostly because I thought that my son who rides in a baby seat attached to the steerer tube would like it. He is very excited about it and I understand why. The copper is very shiny, and it has a very nice sound, loud enough to be heard but not obtrusive or obnoxious. The bell feels like it is very solidly built and the copper will hopefully weather nicely.

Review by ModoReviewed 1/24/2013by ModoCycling EnthusiastPortland, OR5 of 5 customers found this review helpful.Loud, Stylish & EffectiveCopper-plated brass resonates loudly enough to warn walkers and runners. Spring-loaded clapper lets you modulate volume with a gentle ping or urgent clang. The iconic design is a hallmark of classic touring cyclists and committed commuters. Safety and bling in an understated, Japanese design. Nothing better.
