I had 3 bikes stolen last month and only one of them was shop bought new, as you can imagine I like to chop and change frames and components!
The settlement offer is fair on 2 of them, one wasn’t listed on the insurance and they have offered the limit of one item, fair enough cant argue with that. The next they have offered the current price you can get a Kenesis Racelight for £681, again I paid £999 but fair enough.
One in particular I had listed on the insurance for £3,000 as a replacement cost, as a guess really. It actually owed me about £2,300 as the frame was second hand and components new. I listed the retail costs new of every component to the insurer and it came to £2,839. They have offered £2,070
I have now replaced it with something from 2015 I picked up with over 40% off at £1,399.
Would you push back for the full £3k?
