Hairy Posted October 27, 2010 Share What bike are is it you are replacing ... if your old bike was a Brand x then surely you can insist you get you get a Brand X bike again from a dealer that stocks it and not be forced to buy a Brand Y because the insurance guys have a good deal running with Cyclelab?

Gumpole Posted October 27, 2010 Share I also claimed through outsurance. i got a call from one of the big bike shops that couldn't replace my bike (no longer available) but offered me a similar giant, after i checked the specs i complained that they were inferior (basicly 105 instead of ultegra).The ultegra specced Giant was worth a lot more than my bike was insured.So they paid me out the sum insured! so... insist cyclelab gives you the brand/spec etc that you had... if they cant do it outsurance will pay you out the R30k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splat Posted October 27, 2010 Share The insurance company negotiates with the shop to get a discount for EFT.So instead of you getting the cash and shopping around for the best deal, you lose out on the cash discount.And in this case have VERY limited choice. A mate of mine had major fights with Outsurance. After asking nicely for the payout several times, he threatened to get the ombusdman involved as he was losing out.Voila! Cash in the bank and he shopped around and got a great deal on a new bike elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orbeaorca Posted October 27, 2010 Share lots of approved service providers in the motor industry invoice your clsim fot example to you for R20 000 but then they give the insurance company a discount not you. Could this be happening here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seandmerida96 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Aside from insurance claims, What about a Merida. If you stuck with Cycle-lab they stock merida and you can get a scultura 907-com for +-R28 000. Got a Merida 96 MTB and love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
