Insurance Comp
 

Greetings, all
I spend most of my time at C&V. First post here in Road. I have (had?) a 2003 Aegis Aro Svelte that was damaged when our home went up in flames Feb. 16. Aegis, sadly, went out of business a few years ago when the economy tanked, so I'm wondering whether any of you might be familiar enough with the bike to give me a current comp for it.

Here is the bikepedia link to the Aegis. I have the orange. It's a very pretty bike.

I still ride (rode :() the bike a lot, but I've not kept current on what's out there. Any help would be appreciated!

The insurance company would probably go for a value close to what bicycle blue book lists it at. So $700 in absolutely mint condition or $400

Yep, that will be the depreciated value. I would have the option of taking that money and sitting on it. But if I replace the bike they will pay me the difference between that deprecited value and a comparable new bike. So that's why I need to know what a new current comp would be.

comp is comp

If your asking what's on the market new that's a comparable replacement, I'd argue something along the lines of a Trek 4.7 at $3149.

Mid level CF frame, and Ultegra components, same level as your bike..

The counter would be that everytihng has gottent better and a current 105/Tiagra level bike is arguably better than a 2002 Ultegra spec'd bike.

But I'd try to get my LBS to say the Trek 4.7,or similar, equipped with the same Ultegra level components is the appropiate comp.

Year? Used? New?
