After rolling my Rincon on 03/10/04,and having the ins.co. say it was a total loss.I bought it back and spent $600 in parts to repair it.I have to say it is back to like new condition.And I learned a lot about what makes it tick in the process.

Okie

 

what was the damage? how much did you buy it back for? sounds like a good deal

 

The ins.co. gave me my bike back plus a check for $3900.It had bent handlebars,busted meter and case,bent rim,bent racks,and cosmetic damage to the black mudguard plastic.No damage to the drivetrain or suspension.The cycle shop came up with $4000 in parts and $3000 in labor and I almost fell out of my chair,maybe they had a buyer for it.But I beat them to it,and fixed it myself.

 

I like the ending of that story!

 

How did you roll yours? Mine body slammed me, now I know what 600lbs. feels like.

 

I have heard this story over and over, even had a friend buy his back. I think dealers know they can sell these after they fix 'em. I would aslo buy mine back if I were in the same situation. How could you not. Glad it worked out for you.
