My frame is now with Winston Vaz for repair. My solicitors have suggested that they arrange for a valuation to be carried out on the bike as it will be a write-off. I imagine that the market value will be around £600 which is less than the cost to repair the frame. Seems unfair to just offer me market value as the frame is unique and cannot be replaced with an exact copy.
After the repair I will need to get the frame blasted and then chromed at Fox Plating in Dartford. Then I need to find the correct RAL code for the original blue.
