Every bike there is spectacular, phenomenal. They have "MAP" on the downtubes, so I googled MAP bikes and found bike builder Mitch Pryor. I now think $6800 is very fair, and if I was a man of means I'd be all over a randonneuse with all the options.
By the way, it looks from the pictures that he fabricates those lovely fenders.
I love what Mitch does, mixing old with new. I'm not sure but I believe those fenders are the real deal 1940's something or other from France
