We found a number of interesting bikes and baubles when we dropped into the inaugural Vienna Bike Show several weeks back, and going through our photos there are still a few articles worth of goodies to share. We’ll start off this week with a broad range of accessories and a line of bikes that go from the tiny up to the extreme. This bell crafted by Valentinitsch Design really caught our eyes just as we stepped into the show. Fit on the front of a simple frame that beer maker Heineken had commissioned (and with a matching tail light) as part of their Ridentity campaign, it nicely balances modern tech with a classic look. Hop past the break for a closer look, plus some European made 36ers, handmade carbon accessories, and an update to the disc brake version of the Werking Cycles Model S that we got a glimpse of at the end of this past summer…
Maybe the most unique aspect of the Vienna Bellelight is the incorporation of a striker on top that turns the entire headlight into a brass bell. That made the internals a bit more complicated as they had to float inside of the hammered brass housing to get a good ring. Inside though were three high output LEDs powered by a rechargeable battery. Out back was a matching hammered tail light with a red lens over its LEDs. Unfortunately, it seems that for now this set might stay a on-off piece, as it would make a nice addition to a lot of urban bikes.
