Kestrel RT-1000 105 Road Bike-2016
That's about right ....
I recently bought a disc Fuji Sportif with most of the same kit except mech discs and heavy rims and tires---oh, and the Kesterel is all carbon while the Sportif has an Al frmae.
if you are looking for a CF endurance-geometry road machine .... that kestrel is almost exactly the bike I am trying to build right now. if you get them on one of their sale days you could get it cheaper, but seriously, $400 for the groupset, $500-$600 for the frame/forks/headset, $400-$500 for the wheels and tires, and the rest of the parts are free .... Not a bad deal.
if you don't want the hassle of trying to collect and assemble and adjust all the parts .... that is the end product you would be aiming at, right there. Cut to the chase and buy the ride you want.
