It's a large size, but it's pretty big for a large frame...Sorry to read of the situation, here's hoping for a quick resolve.
I may have missed it, but it might assist in the retrieval, what size frame?
thinking of you mate- is the insurance aware that they cost 9 grand to replace and only come in carbon nowIt's a large size, but it's pretty big for a large frame...
Hopefully the insurance will pull through, but it's still a mega bummer, thanks again for all you kind words.
I get it for shop price JD, perks of the job.thinking of you mate- is the insurance aware that they cost 9 grand to replace and only come in carbon now
as far as insurance company is concerned you paid top dollar and they only have carbon- get it?I get it for shop price JD, perks of the job.
And Jet Black importers still stock the Aluminium XT/XTR build, so should be okay.
Oh yeah, I'm sorry, I forgot, last years Carbon model was specially built to look like it was welded, and in fact, Shimano went out of business and now I can only get the XX1 build kit. Bummer.as far as insurance company is concerned you paid top dollar and they only have carbon- get it?
Mikes quoting the insurance company on Monday, hopefully it'll take a week or so to get in and build up and with any luck I might have it the Thursday before. Cross your fingers for me!What's the go with the insurance payout timing, JK? You going to have a 29er for the Mont?
They don't have a waiting period for theft in case it turns up? I have seen some car policies that say 4 weeks? However if you work at the shop I'm sure they will trust you for a week or twoMikes quoting the insurance company on Monday, hopefully it'll take a week or so to get in and build up and with any luck I might have it the Thursday before.

And Glen, thanks, but I'd rather ride a unicycle ;-)
True, but the problem with bikes is that they are almost untraceable, anyone could grap a couple of rattle cans and black the poor bike out, leaving it far less outstanding, plus, bikes don't have number plates etc.They don't have a waiting period for theft in case it turns up?

Oh I don't expect it to be found..

You're too kind JD, but I've got a back-up Titus at the moment, and I can alway's borrow Hifi's Tallboy if the need arises. What a shame that would be...what size bike do you need mate- large? You could borrow mine although it is XL.
