I had my bike nicked a couple of weeks ago, a focus lost lagoon hybrid, nothing special admittedly but I loved the bike !!
I purchased it on the cycle to work scheme and so cannot avail of the scheme again for 5 yrs. Due to circumstance I could not afford the 700euros for a replacement and the insurance paid me the princely sum of 250 euros !
So, I took a punt on the second hand market and bought a Giant FCR 3 for 350 euro, my god what a revelation ! It absolutely flies !! Much quicker (and lighter) than the focus. I thought road bikes were a bit 'hardcore' for a very amateur cyclist but I am smitten.
Though I'm not that smitten that I wouldn't want to inflict some unpleasantness on the thieving scum that nicked my bike
