Pro Bike: Phil Gaimon's 'Cookie' Diamondback Podium
Custom bike to be auctioned off for charity
Optum p/b Kelly Benefit Strategies' Phil Gaimon is a self confessed 'cookie' lover and has taken it to another level this week at the Tour of California with a custom painted Diamondback Podium. Gaimon will donate the bike to the UnitedHealthcare Children’s Foundation for auction after the race with the charity to provide grants for families needing assistance with their children's health care treatments.
The cookie and milk design is the work of artist Brad Galvin, which features prominently on the frame. Written on the rear stays is "Earn your cookies" and "The more you ride, the more calories you can get away with".
The Diamondback podium is equipped with SRAM Red groupset, HED Wheels, stem and handlebar, LOOK KEO Blade 2 CR pedals, Arundal bottle cages and an ISM saddle.

The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
