Getting a Quote for a damage custom frame..

Right, long story short my frame was trashed after being T-boned at a junction. Bent like a banana!

I need to get a quote of roughly what a like for like replacement would cost, I bought it off Pistoffski on the forum for but he appears to have been banned or deactivated his account so can't trace the production cost through him. I have taken it down to my LBS but as they are a Specialised concept store they only deal with off the peg etc and said they wouldn't want to give me a quote as it would be inaccurate. I also contacted Tokyo Fixed/Kinoko who were helpful but again unable to give a quote as they can't identify the tube set.

I really need to get the quote done asap as I have priced up all the parts to claim against the driver and my solicitor is starting to make headway with my case against the driver. I've tried emailing Rychtarski directly but never received a reply, any Poles on here able to help me?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers, are they London based?

Google is your friend...

hope you're not hurt

hard luck man, also try the guy at Saffron (works in the same building as Oak Cycles) he seems to make really nice frames, worth asking if he does repairs. You could also try Talbot Frameworks (on here) he might be able to help

^^^ what happened to pistoffski??

do you know the tubeset of the frame? i have had an nice little chat with them in february. they quoted me 515£ for a columbus cromor frameset, 600 for zona or sl, and 640 for max or life. hope that helps

I'm 99% sure it's columbus so this is very helpful, thanks! Have you been in contact with him directly?

Ryan at oak cycles....

Just dropped him an email, from the auto response I got it would seem he does this kind of thing quote often. Cheers!
