At my local store the Madone is sold for 26.000 Danish Kroner which is around US $4500. I'm pretty sure, but I will check the price tomorrow. I hope I'm wrong and it was the 5.9 I saw, but I doubt it. At trekbikes.com the price of the Trek 1500 is $1100 in Denmark the same bike costs around $2000. That's nearly twice as much.
I would really like some links from you Bruco. It's a lot easier for me to go to Holland or Germany than go to the US.
