where's that smiley for "green with envy"?? 
Just wonderful,.. like Christmas morning for us bike nerds.
What is the last bike shown in the video? Looks like it might be a Raleigh Pro, judging by the bands on the seat tube? Very nice regardless (which also applies to every other bike, to be honest).
The Raleigh display of the construction details is a lot of fun too. A nice reminder of what we used to see in the shops back in the 70's, where folks needed to be educated about the details that went into a good bike.

Really nice!
But could I give some constructive crit?
It's too clean.
You need a frig and a microwave
You need about a 55inch HDTV.

"Thou shalt not covet" comes to mind. 
Very nice! I never tire of seeing that.
I have two man-caves: my elder son's former bedroom (about 10 x 11 ft.), which I quickly commandeered as a much-needed home office for my consulting practice the minute he moved out, and the 2-car garage I had designed and added to the house a couple of years after his little brother came along. I have to share the latter with the cars, which I push out of the way when I need to work on cars, bikes, electronics, carpentry, whatever. I also make heavy use of bicycle storage hooks (seems appropriate) screwed into the rafters, so that I can hang bikes and spare wheels above the cars.
After adding the new garage, we had converted the original one into a family room / bonus room and later "teen room." My wife, a pictorial artist (oils and water colors), now has it as her art and ballet studio / woman-cave.

Everyday I sit in my freezing cold garage this winter in full-on arctic gear to admire and work on my bikes, I'm going to be thinking about you admiring your bikes in your leather recliner, sipping a glass of 20 year old Scotch, and smoking a cigar, wearing your favorite comfortable lounge wear and finishing with a nap with the heat on at a nice comfortable 72 degrees.

My last house i had a family room in the basement that fit a few bikes, very tight and a 10x9 workspace next to the furnace. I purchased a ranch 3 years ago for two reasons, first, I want to grow old here and second a 2500 square foot english basement! I knew that the bikecave would have to be built. I'd say take over the family room!!! LOL

Look at that, all of your bikes in one place, what a great idea. I have mine in the garage, 2 sheds and the basement.
