Danno Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Wow, an insurance company actually paying up for a stolen bike valued over 1.5k I had a bike stolen which was under my house insurance and they only gave me a cheque for £250 when the bike was worth almost 4 times that amount.Your Dad must have done some serious argueing with the insurance company Anyway fairplay to you, glad things worked out in the end Dan.

Bigman Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Ah, but Charlie that was just for the quote, the bike will probably vary slightly from that spec.Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
