"BTW, this is perhaps the only trek bike that I have ever seen that I

Why would you say that? Trek OCLV frames have been proven performers for
over a decade and represent a pretty reasonable value -- especially when you
consider the lifetime warranty that Trek stands behind quite well.
When I read statements like these speaking out against Trek I have to figure
they're being made by people who can't stand leaders just 'cuz they're
leaders (are you French perhaps?). I also have to figure they're being made
by folks who are just talking out of their asses 'cuz they have no direct
knowledge or experience to speak from.
I own or have owned in the recent past: Schwinn, Raleigh, K2, Cervelo,
Cannondale and Trek. I'm a high-mileage rider ... 1,000 miles a month or
better. I have to ride on some really rotten roads that beat the **** out
of equipment. My Trek OCLV road bike and my Trek time trial bike are the
two finest bikes I own and my Trek OCLV is also the one with the most
mileage. I've been sucked into buying some other bikes because of hype
about better ride quality or better this or that. None of them have been
better. I always end up back on the Trek OCLV. It's light, fast, durable
and reasonably priced.
So what's your problem with it? You shouldn't take a pot-shot like that and
not back it up with something.
And yes, that certainly does look like a Wound Up fork.
