    1993 M-Trax, one of the old Ti ones, 21 speed LX and cantis.
    1997 Claude Butler Psycho, converted to SS, comuting and going places.
    199? Coppi K14, road/road racing/crits/hill climbs/touring
    1999 Marin Attack Trail, 5" coil sprung and now with triple clamps and big brakes
    2004 Saracen Killi, surprisingly light magnesium hardtail
    2009 Yeti ASR-Carbon, just to make you all jealous. 19LB full suss! Racing only.

    Probably enough spares to build another, just 'need' some wheels.

    Collecting a time-trial bike on Friday, old and second-hand, blew all my funds on the Yeti. Just need a 'cross bike now…

    Hmm..7 1/2 I guess:
    circa '90 M500 Cannondale (in bits…components that is, not the frame!)
    '96 M2 Stumpie (slightly more assembled than the above)
    '02 P7 (vaguely more assembled than the M2 after a rear-wheel QR incident)
    '03 SWorks Enduro
    Trek Bruiser (which I really ought to flog on account of my age and jumping ability being diametrically opposed, and not in a good way)
    HPVelotechnik Speedmachine (recumbent)
    Challenge Hurricane (recumbent)
    And a Pashley Municyle 😉

    I feel justified with:

    Kona Coiler DeeL (most crashed, often broken, like now)
    DMR Sideick (5", 2×9, most ridden, most reliable)
    Inbred (SS, Rigid, most night rides)
    Diamondback cruiser (for sale)

    My wife's got:

    Kona Stinky DeeL (usually gathering dust)
    Kona Dawg Primo (usually filthy)

    And that is what is left after a cull. I'd dread to think how many we've been through over the years.

    3 is the magic number.
    but definatly need a commuter to stop nice bikes getting nicked, so is that counted in the three???

    Trance, Primary, loved(cleaned and polished) more than its ridden

    Single speed XtC, bridleway tyres at the moment for evening bashings, which make up most of the weight, swap them for conti mud tyres and it weighs next to NOTHING, so good to take along to races as a spare incase it turns filthy

    Burley hardtail (currently a street/dirt/park bike, looking to sell it and build up a raather nice chameleon with lyriks)

    Unicycles don't count. 2 of those.

    Sounds like some people have more bikes than me – I'll have to get some more!

    I seem to ahve too many. Trouble is, the Brompton and the Big Dummy are pretty well non-negotiable, and I sold my last Kona A'ha then immediately regretted it once already, so I'm not doing that again.

    Only really got one mountain bike and one proper roadie. The "winter" road bike really needs changing for something else, but I'd struggle to do without it entirely. 😀

    You're going to do what to a Mather? 😯

    Which Pegoretti frame do you have on order? Be prepared for a loooong wait – my friend waited over 12 months for his Luigino:

    You're going to do what to a Mather?

    I think Rob is pretty happy to see his bikes being used for stuff other than just pure recreation. He started offering discounts for people who specified rack mounts and mudguard eyelets etc, so that hopefully people would continue to use them when it isn't pristine number 1 bike.

    I have 6
    Rigid singlespeed MTB for local riding
    Short travel XC race/marathon hardtail MTB
    Full sus 5 spot
    Steel tourer/commuter/CX bike
    Roadie singlespeed hack bike
    Nice roadbike

    Though my 'nice' road bike is getting decidedly long in the tooth, so I'd like to get a carbon bling number next year.

    Well, they might if you commute on 'em 😛 – I used to do about a mile at each end, to/from stations…

    I've actually got enough. 3 that is.
    575 for most things
    Roadbike for commuting
    Handjob for most other things, like taking the dog out.

    Does me fine.

    I'm amazed how far this thread got without any pictures! (until that horrible white & blue thing)

    how many inbreds?!

    USE

    06 Norco Six-One main bike.
    Recently built DMR Trailstar SS for local loops. Don't know what year it is.
    Old (maybe 60's or 70's?) LeJeune road bike. Converted to SS for commuting and training. Awesome bike that I paid a tenner for off Gumtree.

    DONT USE

    Circa 95 Marin Indian Fire Trail. Awaiting a reincarnation.
    Team Saracen BMX Jump bike. Blookdy heavy.

    Four bikes here

    In France:
    Switch FS 5" of travel
    Handjob going from SS to geared
    Commuter might be build back into geared at some point.
    In UK

    Hoss

    But living in the family house kinda stop you from having too much bikes

    Four here. For now.

    On-one Inbred.'07
    Yeti 575.'07
    Carrera Fury converted to SS/rigid with slick for commuting
    Bianchi roadie

    Tried to whittle it down to a roadie and a long travel HT, but failed.
    Plus there is a Voodoo Wanga frame on its way.

    If you have the room, keep them. I always think about selling the Yeti, but then I ride it and I change my mind. Again I think about selling the Inbred, but then I ride it.
    The Wanga is going to be built as a comparison to the Inbred. Then whichever rides better will be kept.
