well what are they going to do? ask for each and every receipt for every component on my bike? do you keep every receipt for parts you buy from the LBS? i guess there is a record of it if you use a card, but what if you use cash? i highly doubt they make you trudge up every single receipt. what about frames/forks/components you buy off craigslist? friends? etc...
if you are going to go at it in a morality slant i dont really consider a few hundred dollars extra claimed on my bike from a giant insurance corporation that big of a deal.
what i call insurance fraud is what they charge me for my car insurance.
call me a bad guy if you want, i just dont really see the problem. perhaps the few hundred extra you could claim on your bike could be attributed to time and energy spent building it. (im sure thats arguable)
this is all theoretical of course ;p
my primary insurance against bike theft will still be a U lock combined with a cable lock.
