+1 Also have the Spurcycle bell on several bikes, with a special mod to mount it to a stem's M5 bell mount. I like the sound, pitch, sustain, low profile, design and quality. On a recent MUP ride with my wife I we compared the Spurcycle and a brass Crane bell from Riv, and alternated, to see if there was a difference in how people responded or how the bell sounded to us. We rode ahead separately to see if we could hear one better than the other. We had good results with both, couldn't tell a difference (in our non-empirical test) in how people responded to the bells. We thought we could hear the Spurcycle from further away but that might have been sustain/duration. Haven't tried it with a tuner to see what the actual pitch is, but it only seems an octave or so above the Crane, and that doesn't seem like enough of a pitch difference to pass out of hearing range for most people. There are lots of higher freq overtones in bell sounds so I imagine some of those are less audible for some people, but that would be true for all bells.
