I was cyclying into work this morning and a car pulled out of the junction I was passing and crashed into me. I was thrown in the air, bounced off his windscreen and landed in the road. The driver has admited full responsibility.
The bike was taken to a local bike shop and they reckon it is a write off.
The bike, a Specialized FSR XC Pro is now discontinued but cost £1200 when I bought it four years ago. Since then I have added a custom built set and replaced worn out gears/brakes with top-of-the-range sram kit.
My worry is that I will only get the current day value of the bike, rather than the cost it will take to get back to having a great bike – well it was to me anyway. I have it insured for £2000 against theft.
Has anybody got experience of a similar situation and could they let me know what happened? Or any advise would be gratefully received.
– sorry for the long post
