About CHF900 for starters, or something like GBP550. You can still get lots of cool spare parts, plus leather bags etc.
I've ridden one (the 1905 model) and it's pretty cool but pretty heavy too, hills are a struggle. Plus "agricultral" construction - e.g. the seat-stays bolt on with the seatpost! Other than that it's a smooth and stable ride, you could easily cycle for miles hands free on rough roads, allowing you to take pot shots at passing cows.... :-)
