I Want Your Opinion

I just purchased a Giant Escape RX Composite...my first and possibly only high end bike! I don't want to cheapen it's appearance so I bought an Incredibell but I really do not think it is loud enough for New York traffic! So I took my AirZound of of my Cypress and mounted it on me Escape. Below are pics...tell me what you think...should I take it off?

Esthetics an Issue? maybe get a rubber mouthpiece referee's whistle and clench it in your teeth all the time

or a bigger seat bag and route the hose to go in to the seat pack hidden bottle , Hand sew thru the velcro so It cannot be removed easily.

Looks fine to me. Function over form, anyways.

You up in Astoria?


Not always about looks, but about necessity.

It's gonna be pretty hard to make that beauty look bad!

Keep it!

That's especially if it makes you feel safer!

Looks better, perhaps, than my compressed-air marine distress-horn. Now ask me if I care...
