After recently being burgled and lots of stuff being taken the insurance have finally come through (M&S insurance has certainly not been hassle free, I reckon between myself and my partner we must have spent 24 hours solid on the phone over the 9 weeks its taken to get the claim settled, including being accused of lying a few times 
)
Anyhow, for the bikes we are being forced to use wheelies or take a 40% reduction in the claim (and this appears to be non-negotiable, now as we have fought like hell to get it changed and had to send back cheques for the reduced amount they gave us to spend in the LBS).
So as it was my SO's bike that was nicked she is looking for a replacement, and we are struggling to find what to get/try, at the moment a Giant Anthem XW looks OK, can anyone suggest anything else (except Ibis or Santa Cruzs as wheelies won't do these).
) M&S offered me a replacement which we didn't want. They then offered the cash equivalent with no noticable reduction. Odd. 
nothing has changed as far as im concerned
