What I meant before about the Jester theme is that the bike now has two colors of tape on the handlebars. I just couldn't take the whole thing of glow in the dark bar tape off. I LOVED that idea!
So, I just took one side off. One side is white glowy, and the other is the black. It looks kinda cool actually. I'll post a pic eventually when I find my lost digi camera...lame.
Then, I found this bell at the City Bikes store located one block south of Burnside on Ankeny. They're a worker owned and operated store that has a lot of second hand bike stuff, repairs, and racks that you can fix your own bike on and get some good advice. This place is pretty rad.

ANYWAY, I bought a few things from them because I needed reflectors, a bell, and some brake components which I will get to in a later post. They had these cute little Taj Mahal looking bells with gold and black on them and I couldn't help myself. I had to have one. It's called the Dimension Beehive Bell for $6. Not bad.
What the EFF?!!!?? I was looking for a picture of my bike bell online and I ran across this little gem: Chrome Plated Bike Bell. Made with Genuine Swarovski Crystals.
You can take this little bad girl home for $68 bucks. (Uh, not my style but there's SOMEONE out there that wants it.)
Or if you're like me and from Portland, you can have this oh-so-appropriate coffee cup bell.

Cute!
