My earlier post was regarding the new '08 Madones, which are a significant redesign from the '07 models.
However the '08 models are in demand and are difficult to get more than a trivial discount on. The '07 Madone was a very well respected bike and I believe the 5.2 had a MRSP of $3350. Lance won a TdF on the '06 Madone, which was almost the same bike, so it must be pretty good!
Now from a personal riding experience, I can't say anything as I've never ridden a Madone and even if I did, I'm not in any position to render judgement on it.
