Fingers crossed the process goes smoothly. When the guy from the insurance company asked me what happend and I told him. He said oh dear. I then told him the police were prosecuting the driver, he said oh dear again, then I told him that the driver had admited fault at the scene he said oh dear again...

Will keep updating this thread if nobody minds, just to keep a track of when I spoke to whom etc etc.

No, keep us updated, looking forward to updates

OK will do.

I've been looking at alternative frames if the Look 586 doesnt suit me. I like the look of the Cerevlo R3 which is the same price point as the Look.

Choices, choices...

I'm sure you must be able to recycle (see what I did there

) your damaged frame tubes into handlebars or tribars.

How about a titanium rack

Its aluminium so as nice as the Ti rack idea is, its not going to work

Ok, so yours was one of them cheapo Van Nic's then

I think it was the only carbon / alu frame that they made. They dont make mine anymore. I think they decided it wasnt where their customer base was so specialise in Ti now.

This?

I have just got one of those, done about 180km on it so far and really like it. However, for triathlon it is too relaxed a geometry, it is intended as more of a sportive bike and so has a much more gentle riding position.

For Triathlon, a Time Trial (TT) type bike is more what you should be looking at - like this? http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/bikebu...f_BBTTC&bike=1

EDIT: or this in Aluminium.... http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/bikebu...f_BBTTA&bike=1
