The bike as shown isn't for sale. I photographed it just before riding it, 
and once I rode it, realized that the Shimano calipers were not suitable. 
The caliper location in the rear just doesn't work with the mechanical 505 
calipers as they stick out too far and my left heel hits it. I changed them 
to Avid BB7 calipers and all is well.

So, as shown but with BB7 calipers and appropriate discs, the bike would 
cost $4,388.86

But of course every bike we sell is spec'ed out for each customer. So the 
best way to work up a price is to ask for the spreadsheet which lists many 
component options.

I've been riding this bike, as well as my Rambouillet for a while now, and 
I really can't decide which I like more. The Rambouillet is prettier, the 
Grande Route is a bit more solid. They both make me smile, even as my quads 
scream while I slowly get back into shape.

They don't call it "Hillsborough" for nuthin'. :-)
