List on Cannondale's website is $2495. Sounds like a lot for a HT but the Lefty and XT make it worth it. Add in the brakes and geometry/frame awesomeness = home run.

That stem looks really short too so maybe the fit was wrong and that's why they want to dump it. It's also older Ultegra (not internally routed cables). I think $1000 would be a good number.
