Crane Karen and Karen mini Bell
The Crane “Karen” and “Karen Mini” are vintage-looking bike bells with a coil spring hammer.
Made in Japan
The dome comes in brass or aluminum alloy options. The ring of a brass bell resonates longer vs other materials. Natural brass patinas over time and develops character. Our color-finished brass and our aluminum bells will keep their original appearance for a longer time. The dome on the Karen is 50mm wide. The dome on the Karen Mini is 45mm wide.
Coil spring hammer makes a single ring per strike, but it is easy for user to activate in succession to make a “ding-ding” sound
Mounting body and clamp is either steel or die-cast aluminum.
Installation needs a Phillips screwdriver (not included). Do not overtighten.
Versions with Brass Domes: Polished brass(gold), Neo-Black, copper, chrome-plated, Versions with Aluminum Domes: Alloy or Polished Alloy(silver),
