    Whittled down to three:

    MTB: Solaris
    Cross/winter/commuter: Kinesis Pro6
    Summer road: Tarmac SL4

    Would add, if space and budget allowed:

    FS 29er
    Langsterish SS
    Fatty
    Brompton

    But from past experience I know they wouldn’t get enough use.

    4. In order of use:
    Thorn Raven SS
    LeJeune road bike on Turbo
    5 Spot
    Klein Fervor

    Wife has 3. Must own about 6 ton of chain and the world’s biggest padlocks which were sourced from a MOD base in Poole.

    I’m not too sure and I don’t want to count, but I have 14 ‘keepers’ which I’ll be trying to get down to.

    1 + 1/2

    I used to have a few then realised I hte having bikes that rarely get used (how often do all of your bikes actually get out if you’re one of the 6+ people?).

    Now it’s 1 6inch full sus which does downhill and big rides plus bike park freeride stuff.
    1 hardtail, jumpy long travel fun for downhill and short forest rides.
    1 commuter for occasional trips to town.

    The two mountain bikes handle everything and get roughly equal use. I’m happy with things this way and am trying to resist buying a downhill rig simply to keep up with my mates on DH days!

    1 HT
    1 FS
    1 winter road bike
    1 summer road bike
    1 20 year old HT + 1 even older steel tourer on loan to son and his GF at uni
    2 frames hanging up that I ought to get rid of but might just come in handy for some daft project in the future
    Oh and the wife’s hybrid and the other son’s FS which he never uses because he is too busy playing on his X box ( he is 31!)

    1 winter/cross bike
    1 hardtail mtb
    1 old race bike (hung up, sentimental, brought me some good wins/results)

    New road bike on way
    Short travel 29er full Sus in pipeline
    And if my litespeed saber frame doesn’t sell then I guess a new fixie/tt bike!

    Posh Cervelo road bike
    Not quite as posh Giant road bike for crits
    Dolan winter road bike
    Flat bar Roadrat
    Soul
    Blur
    Rigid single speed
    Hack/lend-to-people hardtail
    Hack/lend-to-people roadbike

    So that makes 9… I did have 11, sold one but no idea what happened to the other…

    Five (although one them is technically hers, but I paid for it and built it up, so therefore its mine!).

    SX Trail
    BFe built up as a jump / mucking about bike
    Allez Sport (first new bike in ages and gets loads of use worringly)
    Chameleon (‘hers’)
    Old Cannondale Beast of the East (not sure of the year)

    Keep thinking that I’d like another DH bike but it wouldn’t really get that much use and would cost me a fortune. I often get tempted by bargain frames / bikes on retrobike. Normally thinkgs that I lusted after when I first started riding but could never afford. So far I’ve managed to resist.

    1 full susser 26er for trail riding – pretty much stock components, apart from the wheels and frippery like pedals and grips.
    1 HT 29er so I can be like the cool kids (especially in winter)- pretty much stock again, just the grips and pedals again
    1 HT 26er (for commuting) – build up from random stuff in the cupboard.

    Mr Toast has a full susser (26er), a 29er HT, a cyclocross and a couple of frames, and an inexplicably large pile of tyres.

    9 for me:

    Litespeed Blueridge titanium tourer
    Roberts Roughstuff – steel 26′ wheels touring bike (may sell).
    Dahon MuP8 folder – commuting duties.
    Dawes Galaxy – stored at relatives so I can ride when visit 😀

    Dawes One Down – steel 26′ wheels touring bike for winter duties.

    Pearson Compass – steel touring bike. While not my best bikes (which are the Litespeed and the Roberts) I really like this as I did the Coast to Coast in May 2012 on this 😀

    My wife says I have too many bikes and while I may sell three, I have a new frame to build up…

    I like messing about with old bikes so the collection goes up and down but currently the fleet consists of:

    Orange 5.
    Orange Diva (GF’s).
    1989 Saracen Tufftrax.
    2007 + 1992 Orange Clockwork frames, ready for a rebuild.

    Used to have loads more but when my GF moved in she decided the bike rooms had to become a dining room and spare bedroom. 🙄
    Hopefully moving to a house with a garage soon so the collection will no doubt rise again. Got my eye on a 1990 Marin Eldridge and fancy a FS 29er, just don’t tell our lass!

    at one point i had 6…
    1 f/s DH bike
    1 f/s AM bike
    1 hardtail
    1 singlespeed
    1 retro rigid
    1 jump bike
    then i broke the jump bike, sold the singlespeed, and lent the rigid to a friend and never got it back…he said it got stolen while he was at uni..
    that left me with the 2 f/s bike and the hardtail which i kept…then 18 months ago we bought a new house which didnt have a big garage like the old one so the wife forced me to “sacrifice” one of the bikes so the AM bike got sold….currently looking to replace that though so i should soon be back up to 3…

    BFe – Gets most abuse
    Mojo – Currently being rebuilt after front triangle broke and had to be replaced.
    Spesh Epic – Consigned to the cellar. Soon to be shipped out hopefully.
    Roadie – Hardly gets ridden these days.
    Singlespeed/fixed Roadie Commuter

    Currently doing my best to resist adding a Solaris to the family.

    Think I’ll email this thread to Mrs Daz as proof that having multiple bikes is perfectly normal and acceptable.
