Item Description

"Brick" Theme - Felt FR Disc Bicycle

  • One-of-a-kind
  • Hand Painted
  • Inspired by UHCCF Grant Recipient Marcus, age 8
  • 58 cm ridden by Brandon McNulty
  • Raced by Rally UHC Cycling at the Amgen Tour of California, May 12-18, 2019.

This  bike is in the fleet of one-of-a-kind Felt FR Disc bicycles that will be raced by Rally UHC Cycling at the 2019 Amgen Tour of California and now auctioned to benefit the UHCCF. Six brave young UHCCF grant recipients were surveyed to provide inspiration for each bike’s novel identity. See the bikes racing live in California on NBC Sports Network or via the Tour Tracker, and don’t miss your chance to own one of these exceptional, hand-painted Felt FR Disc race bicycles!

The designs are a collaboration between Rally UHC Cycling’s creative team--Emily SaintOnge and Sam Wiebe--and are hand-painted by Brad Galvin at Dirt Designs Graphic using premium Axalta paints and clear coat.

Each bike is outfitted with high-end race componentry – the same equipment used by the Rally UHC Cycling pros.

This bike's inspiration came from UHCCF Grant Recipient Marcus, who hopes to be a policeman when he grows up, “because it’s hard work and if someone is in trouble, you can help,” inspired this heavy-duty design. This frame was designed to look tough, but also celebrates Marcus’ favorite activity with a certain world-famous building block. This strong foundation reveals itself in Marcus’ favorite primary colors from underneath a layer of deep black and silver pearl.

Marcus’ advice for our cycling team headed to the Tour of California?

“Go, Go! Don’t stop, keep going! Be sure to drink lots of water!”
