Yes, they will pay for the comparable 2009 or 2010 bike. Figuring that out is my short term goal because I want that mess behind me. My long term goal is finding a duplicate. I loved that bike from the moment I saw it. I bought it when I was in college and I went to college at UC Davis. If any of you are familiar with Davis, you know that bike had been through a lot with me.
Bianchigirll, thanks so much for all your help. I looked at your photo again and had a couple things to add. The small decal on the front looks like an exact match. Also, the shifters are a bit different. They are the thumb shifters but mine seem a bit smaller and closer to the handlebars so that whole section looked a bit flatter. I'm sure all you bike people are laughing your behinds off at my descriptions. I just have no idea of the proper names of any part of the bike beyond frame, tires and handlebars.
