OK, that's what I needed
I visited two respected local shops today, and I'm going to buy a new bike.
I was really impressed with the Giant TCR Composite line and the Specialized Roubaix. After making first contact with the at-fault party and his insurance company, it sounds like the next few weeks/months will not be fun. I will stop worrying now. I will do what it takes to make me happy. Thanks again everyone. Jürgen |

If I remember you were injured as well as having the bike damaged. If the insurance company is going to be tough you get tough as well. Phil Brown |

carl- A lawyer and even a trial may be necessary, but
it's surprising how often people find arbitration far quicker, cheaper, and more satisfying. BRBR Few in personal injury caes actually go to trial. A lawyer is there to arbitrate for you with the insurance company, it's what they do(what mine is doing now). Carl First thing we do, let's kill all the insurance agents? BRBR They are just doing their slimey job, kill the fat cats in the penthouse apt that are getting rich...start with AIG please.

Carbon frame intregrity after accident
In article ,
Jürgen Hartwig wrote: I had an accident in which a car pulled across my path. I struck the passenger rear quarter panel and flew over the car, taking the bike halfway across the trunk. The fork was slightly bent (can be straightened), and front wheel was badly warped. The frame is a ~1995 Trek 2300 with carbon main tubes bonded to aluminum lugs. The carbon tubes look physically fine. One bike shop states there is the risk of internal damage, and I should consider replacing the frame. Another shop states the frame is fine, straighten the fork, and replace the front wheel. I have been unable to ride the bike due to a healing shoulder, so I cannot comment on how it feels. Should I be concerned? In my experience insurance companies do not want to hear a long detailed explanation of what is wrong with your bike. They usually just want to know if the bike needs to be replaced, and what it will cost. If you add up the true cost of all repairs (including cosmetic, using original parts, repainted at the factory, etc) you will probably reach the price of a new bike. With a questionable frame, trashed fork, trashed wheel, probably some other damaged bits such as seat, handlebar tape, etc. not to mention damage to paint - frankly it would be a lot of money to really make your bike the way it was before the accident and they do pretty much owe you a new one. A new one means a 5200 in my opinion, as the closest thing in the Trek product line today. Your "slightly bent" fork should not be straightened unless it is steel which I doubt. --Paul |
