[QUOTE="Warchild, post: 26651, member: 4"] Helleva first post..... With regard to the repair, a lot hinges on the condition of the frame. If it's tweaked - even a little - then this is bad news. It's very difficult to determined if it's tweaked just by eyeballing the situation. Can you ride the bike at all to try to determione an obvious frame issue? A Computrank examination ([URL="https://www.gmdcomputrack.com/"]https://www.gmdcomputrack.com/[/URL]) is about the only way I would want to be convinced the frame isn't tweaked. If the frame is good-to-go, then it sorta sounds like if could be a good project bike, based on your description.. In my case, I was able to thoroughly examine and test-ride my deer-strike project bike sufficiently enough to make a determination to go forward with the work. If you can't do the same (test-ride it , even with its current trashed condition), then it could be risky business. Or, it could be just fine. Use caution before making any deal with the insurance company. Hope this helps.... good luck, keep us posted..... [/QUOTE]
