I have actually - new Trek store opened up locally and the owner has one prominently displayed. We took it out for a spin. Extremely sweet ride. Still, it's way more money than I'd ever pay for a bike. The only way I'd drop that kind of $$ would be the aforementioned mega-millions lottery and finding a one of a kind gold plated Colnago or similar ultra-classic steel bike. At least I could lie to myself convincingly and say it was an "investment!"
