Johnson Smith Catalog Item #32

Can we believe that this is a genuine taxidermied fox head? Even if not, very cool accessory even for today's bikes. Anger vegans everywhere!

Just what every "foxy" bike rider needs! :lol: :coolsmile:

I'll take the bike it fits on.

That would have gone along with a nice coonskin cap when I was a kid.

Today, I wouldn't want something that makes it appear that I have a fox head stuck up my backside.

Not to mention angering the anti-fur crowd. How many of you still have a real lucky rabbits foot from childhood ? I do.

Damn I so want one of those.

I can't see the appeal myself. And the fox's head would be the only part NOT appearing to be up your ass honey. :lol:

Would a fox be better than a gerbil?

Who would want a GERBIL UP THE BUT!? 😖 :coolsmile:

"Genuine lambswool cover..."

I can buy lamb skins at Ikea or down town or....

Then, back in the '50s there weren't a lot of P.E.T.A. members to bemoan the plight of critters.

Sheepskin bicycle seat covers are readily available, and so are fox faces. You could sew them together yourself. Of course it'll cost you more than $2.50 these days....
