Yeah, I get that. I just feel like an opportunist in that it's a bike that I probably only have $3k in frame and components on it (and some of the components are salvageable), and the tops are quoting $6-10k to replace it. Sure the frame and most of the components aren't replaceable with new anymore, but it just seems greedy.

This isn't between you and the old lady. It's between you and her insurance company.
I think that's the mindset that I need to get into.
