Hi
How can you value a vintage bike for insurance purposes? I recently had all my bikes tagged by bike register for free by the transport police but had no idea how to give a value to them or my home insurance.
For example- my everyday frame is a well ridden Trevor Jarvis custom steel frame, not pretty to look at but to get a new one made would cost in the region of £1000. Does this allow me to value my frame at anywhere near this even though its 25 years old?
I've built all my bikes from the frame up and don't really have receipts for most parts that were bought on here, ebay, retrobike etc. Does the rarity of the parts have any impact on the value and how can you quantify this for insurance purposes ?
