| I have a Silky Katanaboy that lives in my camper van. It’s ridiculous how quickly that cuts through medium sized logs. I also picked up a Silky Zubat for around the house. I may need to add a Pocket Boy for the bike now…

Thanks for the kind words all. I quite love the utilitarian versatility of the Clementine.
I found a full sized silky biking and was convinced of their excellence. The Pocket boy is just as good! If you want another fun pocket-sized saw that is even smaller check out. It'd be great for cutting small kindling.

I've been laughed at for my Pocket-Boy saw in my bikepacking kit... until you basically save the trip with it, then everyone suddenly realizes its worth.
Mackenzy, Wow, your bike belongs on the RivBike instagram/website/email somewhere. I love to see working bikes. I hope Will is reading.
Tom
Very cool bike … and job! Thanks!

Eric - I am a museum technician. I use my clementine to bring tools do the different gallery spaces I work in. The bag is a aerial tote with an assortment of tools I use for exhibition installations. Furthest left to right is a Silky Pocket Boy saw, Snap-on Ratcheting screw driver, Svord pocket knife, occidental pouch with a flush cut pliers, small klien scissors, higonokami knife, pica pencil, and spot for the ratcheting screw driver.
I have a bunch of other things in the bag like a 12v milwaukee drill, hammer, tape measure, pliers, various scrapers, square, etc etc etc.
I've thought about building a bike with a Clydesdale and attaching a milwaukee packout kit to it.
I’m intrigued by the assortment of items in your handlebar bag. Mobile hairdresser? Dog groomer? Other? Inquiring minds want to know ...

I usually place my bell on my stem - but was playing with fit so had my moose bars slammed. I like keeping hand positions open so don't like them on prime handlebar real estate. I am pretty certain I stole this one from Jan Heine somewhere - but it easily fit under my seat. It worked well enough - wasn't hard to reach. I moved it back to the stem eventually because I decided I didn't need my stem slammed and like to be able to use a saddle bag. I would consider this placement again on the right bike.
Re Spurcycle price - they have a "Frankenbell" sale every fall where you can get a good deal on blems. Mine looks perfect, couldn't ID any quality issues.
Tom: I love a stem-shifter-mounted bell, very cool that the thread pitches are the same. I've never run one myself but I have threaded a bell onto a stem shifter in my shop just to try it out.
Another install I like is a Crane E-ne mounted to the downtube shifter boss, seen here on a Crust Romanceur with a one-by drivetrain.

I bought three (3!!!) bells at Blue Heron yesterday. I've got a number of bell-less bikes and the shame has become too much. All three were Japanese Crane models.
1. A hand painted one will clamp to the stem quill on my Quickbeam 2. A "Spur-Like" ENE model will go on my Hetchins 3. A headset-spacer model will get disassembled, and I'm going to drill and tap an M5 hole into the side of my CNC aluminum Cinelli Sesamo stem on my Single Speed Lightning Bolt. That will be my entry for "most discreet".

Here's nice image of most discreet placement of the best looking, smartly engineered richest sounding, bicycle bell ever made. That's my story and I'm sticking to it ; )
