Normally competition specs give some indication of the value of the prize.

If 3K+, you may find you have something rather expensive to insure, depending on how you do it (home insurance usually the cheapest, dpending on where you live but will be a named item)

Thanks.. thats great.... the spec paints it to be nearer 8k.... so i will look at the house insurance route. Thanks for the advice.

Lordy, expect a big whack on top of your premium, especially if you live anywhere half way urban!

That figures! Thanks!!!

Well it's a high value nickable item unfortunately, but it didn't cost you anything so that's one positive

ha.. I know.... I was VERY lucky... depending on the cost.. I might have to sell.. not sure the missus will be too happy with a big hit! Ahhh well

Depending on where you Iive, I would expect several hundred a year to insure I'm afraid, especially if you need it covered away from home

Don't expect it to be easy to sell or to get anything near 8k for it - seems higher end bikes are very hard to shift. Hopefully it's a standard size at least

Yeah I am not expecting it to be easy... with a signed Sky team shirt and certificate, I still think you need someone who is a massive bike fan or has deep pockets. We shall see! Thanks for your advice! :-)

Interesting article on the Sky Procycling website. Particularly the following note at the end

They will clobber you for it or refuse to insure it at £8k as it is too higher risk if it goes "missing" or is pinched. If they do offer cover for it, you will feel like you're being robbed. For some reason my house insurance (Nationwide) rocketed this year to silly money, despite making no claims whatsoever and also they unilaterally removed two of my named bikes. Suffice to say I am now with a different insurer.

Seriously? Can they do that and just remove stuff with mentioning it? Hmmm looks like a big chain and guards will be useful? Thanks for this!

Yup. Insurers can do what ever they want in respect of their insured. I guess they thought I wouldn't notice that 2 bikes were missing from my renewal schedule whilst sending my renewal price into orbit. Bastards! TBH self insuring, the best locks and being really careful is the best policy to prevent your pride and joy being pinched.

Mine decided I needed and had a burglar alarm and didn't tell me I had to have one fitted. Luckily I noticed on the schedule and cancelled, saving £50 in the process!

Yeah I agree. Well I will get insuring now... Or look to well it I think.
