This is the kind of thing I'm trying to prevent. £2k bike... does 1500 miles... for sale 12 months later.

I am grateful, but I'd love and cherish my new bike

Maybe 2nd hand is the best option. Do you know how easy it is to insure a 2nd hand bike with out its receipts? My current insurance only covers the cost of my frame, because it's the only component I bought new

Most policies now seem to require specified item insurance for bikes, so you basically tell them what it is and what it's worth and they go from there.
