Pickles Posted September 8, 2008 Share Andy, check what your insurance premium will go up to monthly after this claim. It will jump up. And bear in mind that if you break a carbon frame you have NO bike! Why don't you think about Aluminium until you are in a position where you can afford to replace toys that break without (your dad) taking out a second bond on the house! At least if you crash or break it, it can be repaired..most of the time anyway. I think? Just a thought Pickles2008-09-08 12:20:10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PEEZ@ Posted September 8, 2008 Share The insurance premium is already pretty high seeing its insured for 40k, but at the moment still researching the topic and looking at my options.. considering borrowing something for DC then putting cycling on hold so I can get down to serious studies next year.. so have not decided completly on anything yet..PEEZ@2008-09-08 12:23:46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought [/quote']  Good advice and exactly the point I was trying to make in my earlier post when I asked how the cracks happened. Consider buying an aluminium bike which you can race until you can afford a carbon frame. Then you can get a carbon frame when you can afford it and convert your aluminium bike from racing to training purposes only. Keep your carbon bike only for racing.
