Jeff Schneider replied to garrett's discussion 'Bike Appraisal Options'"No, I didn't think it made sense. I might have gotten some satisfaction, but probably would not have come out ahead financially (after burning up my time and paying an attorney) when I only had $2k or so at stake. Also, in those…"

Jeff Schneider replied to garrett's discussion 'Bike Appraisal Options'"I got hit by a taxi driver a few years ago. My bike, a Trek lugged touring frame from the early 1980's (when they were made in WI), with Campagnolo and Avocet components, in perfect condition, got trashed. 30 years ago it cost me…"
notoriousDUG replied to garrett's discussion 'Bike Appraisal Options'"Most bike shops will give you a written appraisal on your bike after (or even before) an accident. In order to get the best appraisal go to a bike shop that best serves the specific style of bike you have (I.E if you have a 'sweet…"

Davo replied to garrett's discussion 'Bike Appraisal Options'"You might want to contact someone at www.ILBicycleLaw.com they should be able to help you out."
garrett replied to garrett's discussion 'Bike Appraisal Options'"To clarify, the bike was in impeccable shape and I worked on it at least once a week. Does anyone know if they may try to cut its worth because it is not new and difficult to appraise?"

Hi, I got into a bit of a nasty wreck and was hoping to get some suggestions as to where you would take your bike if it happened to you. It is a bad situation because my frame was a Raseza lugged frame which is no longer made. My first appraisal has suggested that a Gary Fisher Presidio would be a comparable bike today. My biggest fears are that the insurance company is not going to respect the appraisal of a bike that is 30 years old as something that is what it is. I have only got one hit on…See More
