Veldt_Trophy_Helmet_7.jpgVeldt Trophy Head: the new way to hang your helmet
Described as a "tasteful, yet playful take on the traditional coat rack", the Veldt trophy head screws into the wall so your helmet stays scratch-free.
The design is based on Constantin Brâncuși's Sleeping Muse; of which we can't see a great deal of resemblance to the famous brass sculpture ourselves, but it's something to tell your guests. Trophy Head is made of basswood that is laser-cut, and just two 4mm diameter screws are needed to affix him to your wall.
The actual hat worn by Richard Attenborough in Jurassic Park (probably, anyway) shown atop of the Veldt Trophy Head
Wanna get some head right away? For the price of £80 you can get one shipped within a week, so you can have the Veldt Trophy Head looming down on you in no time with your helmet/headwear of choice proudly rested on top. If we were to display all our helmets using Trophy Heads (plus road.cc's video editor Matt has a collection of flowery bonnets) we'd be racking up quite a bill, so at 80 quid a pop it's perhaps for best only.
If you want to find an example of a helmet worthy of being displayed on it, check out our performance helmets buyer's guide.
Jack has been writing about cycling and multisport for over a decade, arriving at road.cc via 220 Triathlon Magazine in 2017. He worked across all areas of the website including tech, news and video, and also contributed to eBikeTips before being named Editor of road.cc in 2021 (much to his surprise). Jack has been hooked on cycling since his student days, and currently has a Trek 1.2 for winter riding, a beloved Bickerton folding bike for getting around town and an extra beloved custom Ridley Helium SLX for fantasising about going fast in his stable. Jack has never won a bike race, but does have a master's degree in print journalism and two Guinness World Records for pogo sticking (it's a long story).

Looks like a HGV drivers trophy.
No helmets beyond the porch in my house. Wrath of god is upon me if cycling gear gets into the house.
Ugh. That's no way to live.
Where can i get a helmet like the one in the first picture???
1978.
That's no helmet...thats a jockstrap
Wot no Bluetooth? Surely any cycling invention can be improved by finding some way it can be controlled, monitored or activated via a dedicated smartphone app.
Yep, putting a sweaty old helmet over the mantlepiece is going to go down well in Casa de don simon.
