Ouch, sounds bad, yellowbanana. Glad you weren't hurt worse, it seems to have been a lucky escape!
If you're already in touch with lawyers, let them work on the compensation issue. If he really drove into the back of you on a roundabout, he will have a difficult case to make re: not being at fault. But as I say, let the lawyers sort it out if it can't be resolved amicably. It's worth the expense (especially given the high value of the bike) and saves you a lot of hassle. You probably already know that many of them work on a 'no win, no fee' basis. The main thing you need to do is get a bike shop to certify that the bike is a write-off, perhaps the one where you bought it. Good luck.
