My insurance company (Prudential) is replacing my bike (an ~8 year old Raleigh Pioneer Spirit
hybrid) after it was written off following a front brake cable snapping on a steep hill resulted in
an apparently spectacular collision as I freewheeled straight into a passing car at the T-junction
at the bottom.
Rather than simply dish out some sum of money (bike was L300 originally but that was with lock,
pannier rack, mudguards & lights which are all recoverable) the deal seems to be that some other
company Prudential deals with will supply me with a "suitable replacement" (but so far I haven't
heard from them).
Has anyone here been in a similar position ? Were you offered some complete piece of junk or did
everything work out OK ?
Thanks for any advice Tim
