| General concensus on bikes is 50% loss in the first year and 10% each year after.
A bit more more difficult to judge when the bike isn't an off the peg version.
Yours is a nearer spec to the Fual 90 I think so see how much they were brand new. |

| £624 here brand new clicky
But the spec is not as high as yours so prob on paper worth £800. Also the Trek 90 is £800. But if you wanted to sell it you wouldn't get more than £500 as people would just see the new one at £624.
You floggin it already and getting a 10" travel BIG DOG with tripple clampers?

| Yes, I had the same problem when I built my bikes. As you don't have one receipt for the entire bike. I got Tuto Bici to write me a valuation so I would have something formal. My insurance for £4,000 was free with our new home insurance. Result!!
Also covers away from home and accidental damage.
