tl;dr: if you had £3675 you had to spend on a new bike, what would you do?
Long version: I’ve had a bike vandalised and subsequently written off. Thankfully insured, and the insurer very reasonably wants to buy me a new bike (or frame and bits) to replace it. Brief is vaguely ‘all road’ and preference for metal over carbon. A cashout isn’t an option but a relevant gift voucher is.
Thought folks here may enjoy this non-problem - feeling both lucky and daunted.
