I got hit by a car over a year ago.
Took the bike into a local shop and to my surprise, they appraised it as a write-off.
Unfortunately, the insurance company disagrees (9 months later), after I dismantled the bike to store it. So I need a shop, or frame builder in South London who can do me a new insurance assessment.
To me it needs new bars, stem, headset, bar tape, cables, front and rear rims, wheelbuilds to suit, new mudguards and then the frame needs to be checked for alignment and resprayed. At worst it might also need a new fork.
It's a handbuilt steel frame that I made on the Dave Yates frame building course, so I do want to get it fixed.
Any ideas?
