When I was looking to add a bike bell on my moustache-bar P-15 Paramount, I went looking on eBay for something a bit different. I ended up with a vintage bicycle bell, chrome with red paint that nicely complements the head lugs and pinstriping on the Paramount. Here's a photo link:

The bell has a racheted thumb lever that when depressed results in a satisfying (and attention gathering) brrring, brrring sound! It virtually never rings unless I depress the thumb lever (occasionally, if I run over a very substantial bump it will ring).
