I'll add a few comments. Big thanks to the folks at the Trek bike shop for giving us the tour.
The bike shop owner told us this was the third-to-last bike actually built by Mr. De Rosa himself. A real stunner and a Holy Grail bike for many of us I'm sure:

See, my girlfriend refuses to let me redecorate our bathroom like this. Am I being unreasonable?
Oh yes, let's not forget the restroom...

Tribute to Ryder Hesjedal who despite a crash, finished 24th in the last of the three grand tours of the season, the Vuelta a Espana which ended last Sunday. Garmin Sharp will merge will the Cannondale team so it looks like Hesjedal will switch from Cervelos to riding Cannondales.
Only Treks for sale at this shop as seen here.
Tribute to Olympic Gold medalist in triathlon Simon Whitfield, also from Victoria. His gold medal Guru bike is on the left.
