Development Story

”Why don't you make bells?"

We have received this kind of feedback many times in the past as we have visited various bicycle shops.

"We need a bell with a retro design that matches KiLEY's lights."

Maybe you know, there are already many different kinds of bells on the market. So we had always put it off. However, the representative of KiLEY, who is also a designer, prepared two types of bell designs to match retro and classic customs.

● Why we need two types?
Of course, if you match our light, silver alone may be enough. However, from the viewpoint of sound, brass sounds higher and gently than silver steel because of the nature of the material. In addition, the aging of brass has a characteristic that enhances the taste and texture of your bike, and raises the level of your custom. As a result, the lineup of two types of bells with steel silver and brass gold.

Features of SHOWA BELL

1,Showa(昭和) retro design that is inherited over time

For Japanese who lived through the Showa era, it's "nostalgic".

For those who don't know that era, it is also "somewhat nostalgic"

The Showa Era is the Japanese chronology, which corresponds to approximately 40 years or more ago. Showa Bell gives such an impression. As the name suggests, the design is based on the bells of normal bicycle from the Showa period. However, designed it so that it would not give the impression of being only old. The arabesque pattern and crown create an elegant atmosphere.

2, Perfect for customization with silver parts

Of course, the compatibility with other items of KiLEY, which values metal texture, is also excellent. It is a perfect item for city bikes and mini -velos, as well as chromoly frames with vintage parts and classic tastes, as well as silver parts that make you feel unified.

3, retro sound supports modern cycling life

From daily commuting to a little out, pottering. The clear tone that makes you feel the nostalgia gives you your existence to the surrounding. This bell, which matches any scene, is an item that supports cycling life more and safely.

It is a comparative video of the tone of steel LM-025 and brass LM-027.

Installation is easy as you just need to fix the bolts on both sides. Handlebar size is 22-24mm dia. with KiLEY logo on the lever.

Product Summary

Designer's Comment

As you know, the history of bicycles began in Europe. When designing a silver bell that fits KiLEY's light, we started with reference to classical European accessories. However, it was discovered that the design of the bell, which was active in the Showa era in Japan on the way, was discovered. So I named it a show bell.

By adopting the crown and arabesque pattern, it has a more elegant appearance than the price and naming. This is a bell that I want many people to try casually, including those who are already using KiLEY items and who knows about Kiley for the first time.
