Well, the insurance finally came through for my stolen XC Charge.
A big thanks to Mal from Mal Adjusted for his patience in helping me decide on a replacement and the significant discount.
The replacement is a change of pace from the Charge, but given I have a Haro 29er for XC duties, an all quick purpose (fire road, commute, hauling the kid around) bike was in order.
Fairly stock so far, only a copy of replacments: Salsa seat clamp, green bidon, green bidon bolts, green Halo hex skewers (good for anti-theft purposes, plus stiffer and lighter than Mavic stock skewers) and my fav old WTB Devo Ti saddle.
I went for its first off-road ride this arvo... whcih was a bit painful on the wrists but VERY quick...:
