I don't have the one Rex mentions, i have one that does mount under the headset locknut but it's more like a canti-brake stop style. if you have a lot of stuff on your headset (i also have a cable-stop), it can make headset adjustments difficult because you run out of space to adjust headsets.
One thing i'd add, i have the headset style one, as well as a clamp that goes around the stem (instead of under it). In both cases you have to really tighten down the bell as it tends to rotate loose as you strike it. I've got the Crane hammer strike one that rivendell sells as well as the brass one that velo-orange sells, both the hammer strike lever style (pay attention as vo also sell a bar-style striker too). The one from vo is not as nice, either in tone or in strike, i tend to get mis-strikes on the vo one because the lever is not as big or positive. While keeping it on the flats takes up a lot of space, it is the most accessible, from the stem you definately have to reach down or take your hands off the handlebars. I have the incredibell too, sound is different, but it's the smallest of the bunch, just make sure you get one that can mount on drop bars, they make ones in narrower clamps for mt/cruiser bars too. the crane japanese bell from rivendell is my favorite among them, even with it taking up the most space.
