The bike's history:
I bought 10 bikes from a 6'5" guy who lives in Clarksville, TN. Took me 10 hours from the time I left the house until I got home.
He was selling off all his older bikes. After my purchse, he still had 22 bikes left.
He bought all his bikes new, all excellent quality, all kept in a separate room set aside in his 4-car garage with special wall mounted racks.
I've specialized in obtaining and restoring tall bikes. They sell slowly, but I know they will because they're hard to find. I've had many conversations with tall guys about the high cost (like $3000) of tall bikes because they have to be specially ordered. Regardless of that knowledge, I haven't "gouged" anyone on prices. My prices reflect savings that have been passed on.
This bike is modern in its engineering and design. All components are replaceable and available at any LBS.
Those who spend a lot of money for carbon-this and carbon-that usually end up saving a relatively small amount of weight. Compare.
Per Sheldon Brown: High-end Tange tubesets were high-quality CrMo steel which were on a par with high-end Columbus SL/SP(CrMo) and Reynolds 531(manganese-molybdenum) tubesets.
