My guess is ~$20,000 too high. I know a rider/team local to me who has raced in the RAAM and other ultradistance races multiple times and has a fully loaded Calfee race tandem which is decked out with just about every imaginable upgrade. The thing still cost less than $20k ($18k, IIRC). Now, I know that I'm talking about a tandem, not a triple, and carbon at that (which may actually be more expensive), but that triple doesn't even have a top level group.
