Like the sound of a playing card in the spokes, some sounds simply sing the songs of cycling nostalgia. Remember, long before we were so serious as to call riding a bike 'cycling,' our bells were the language in which the roaming 'peloton' of banana-seats and streamer'ed-stallions communicated. In those princely days on your block, the bell chimed just to chime, but now as an adult, the Portland Design Works King of Ding Brass Bell is a safety necessity for your urban empire.

Whether you're keeping a car in check, or trying to surpass a jogger, the King of Ding will herald the message loud and clear. It features a solid brass construction, a brass striker, and an alloy mounting bracket. The striking note is sonorous and distinct, and the bracket fits both 22.2 and 25.4mm handlebars.

The Portland Design Works King of Ding Brass Bell comes with a shim for 22.2mm handlebars and is available in the color of natural brass.
