When my Gunnar was damaged, I worked with Speedgoat through which I had purchased most of the components and the frame to build that bike. They helped me put together an itemized list of what was on it and the replacement value of each item. They put the list on their company letterhead and I sent it off to the insurance company. I received a settlement for the full value of that list as the bike less than a year old. When my LOOK was damaged, I received roughly 75% of the value of the components (minus deductible, as that was a hit & run) but that bike was over ten years old.
I was just curious as to "market value" for such a frame. In its day (and even now) it is a very nice frame. But I'm not sure that there is a 'market' for such things. I've never seen a similar frame for sale, but then I never looked hard.
