More importantly I always feel like I'm riding an injured bike and I don't trust it as much. Thus unless you're gonna get a real pukka repair done, I would recommend taking the payout and looking for something new. At best I would only buy the bike back if it worked out in my favour to sell it on for parts etc
Hope you're ok and it all works out!

I found that out during my claim in Feb-June, West Midlands bus.

Good luck with the claim, if its anything like claiming from the bus the accident never happened, but then again the bus didn't stop, or get done for failing to stop....
