all of them, however many that is.
Or is this willy waving over the number of bikes everyone owns?
Posted 1 year ago # -
none at the mo
Inbred 456 needs gear cables and gears setting up... will sort them out tonight though with some help from iplayered radcliffe and maconie..
singlespeed is halfway through getting gears put on it for the first time in about 5 years.. for a trans penine trail epic next week.. and has no fork either as we are trialing a higher front end on my G/F's bike this weekend..
commencal meta 5 has no wheels / rear derailleur cos theyve gone on the singlespeed..!
oh and the RTS frame is sitting on a shelf feeling unloved after being stripped down and built into the 456...

One of two, but then, the 5spot has been in bits for the last 2/3months being hand stripped and then serviced and rebuilt in a new and interesting 1x9 and coil spring guise. Just waiting for my shock spring.

I had 4 bikes in various states of utter disrepair plus a Bullit that was/is mint.
I sold all the junk on ebay, it was worthless, but sold for enough to fund a new Carbon 456. So I know have two working bikes, though they're sharing a set of wheels at the moment as I haven'g to round to finishing the ones I'm building for the 456.
Every bloke needs a project bike, so I have a Mongoose Transfer for riding round the streets that is being worked on at the moment. It needs a broken bearing removing from the front wheel, disc brake adaptors, a front mech shifter and new bars.

3 out of 4 are currently fit for purpose.
The Mount Vision is currently missing its forks as they are having a little holiday at Locotuning. Wxpect them to come home all refreshed & full of bounce/beans!:)

3/4 working, though one is lent out to my brother, and the 4th is only in pieces as I stole the fork for another bike, bought some new un's now so should put #4 back together.

5 all working and ready to roll

All 5 rideable, one only just though - very old British Eagle.
Posted 1 year ago # -
4 out of 5-- the winter road bike is a pile of festering rust that I fear will need some money to get it rideable again. Every spring when I get the best roadbike out I resolve to clean, grease and fettle the winter steed before I forget it for another 8 months. I never do and every year the salt and filth damage gets worse.

2/3
Commuter bit dirty and disks rub
Chameleon bit dirty gears need indexing
Race/Plastic bike has an interesting scrape in its chain-stay currently off getting repaired/inspected.Posted 1 year ago # -
5/6 number 6 has a broken frame

Posted 1 year ago # -
2/3, road bike and xc bike are fine commuter needs new wheels and is currently in bits while I nitromors the frame and forks. Forks took ages not looking foward to doing the frame.

The other just needs new wheel bearings fitting that are hopefully coming tomorrow.

2 are rideable out of 5
Blue pig is ready to go as is the cross bike.
Muddy fox is nearly ready, just needs some cranks as I borrowed the ones on it for the cross bike.
Pugsley is still a work in progress.Could also probably build another 2 with all the bits so maybe 2 out of 7 really.
Posted 1 year ago # -
3 of 3 running, (Road/FS/Commuter) but do have two spare frames, numerous spare wheels & tyres, a couple of sets of spare forks, a couple of spare rear shocks, a couple of spare sets of bars, seatposts and stems, a spare saddle and a box of spare drivetrain bits so maybe its more like 3 of 5.

0-2 left my pedals and shoes at work, long story but will both be running by Monday

5/7
Working
DH-Showroom Nick
DH2-Also Showroom
Ro-Ti- Pebble beach condition
Road thing - "quickly cleaned so the roadies can't see it's actually filthy"
Brompton - Unloved and needs the deep clean treatmentNot Working
Pitch - 100% in parts, down to bearings, spokes and hubs
Five - Needs swingarm dremle'd (stuck bearings)This makes me think; does anyone keep workshop notes about their bikes? I can never remember service intervals for all the stuff that needs to be done, never mind the essential stuff like replacing cables and patching tubes.

MTBs - 3/4
Road - 2/4Full suss put away as won't use until next year now
Awaiting a new seat mast cap for Madone as bolt broke

5 out of 6.
Track bike is always spotless
CX is newly rebuilt in it's Three Peaks guise so that's currently spotless (until tomorrow when I ride it!)
S-Works Epic has only been ridden a couple of times since it was stripped and rebuilt with its new 10sp groupset so that's virtually immaculate.
Cove Stiffee is dirty but fully rideable and working. The front mech has an annoying rattle though.
Langster is a bit grubby but all rideable, again, that's got an annoying creak coming from somewhere.
S-Works road bike is just missing a set of pedals so 5 mins with an allen key and it'll be rideable again.Posted 1 year ago # -

Unusually 8 of 8. Just did a bunch of work on a couple of my MTB and I keep my road bikes well maintained.

4/4 are working & ridable
2/4 are clean & the other 2 have a light splattering of mud1x retro Falcon flat barred road bike (the beer scooter) used last weekend
1x retro Orange Clockwork, used last weekend
1x Orange 5 Pro, not ridden since March!
1x Cube AMS Pro R1 Mag, used 2 weeks agoPosted 1 year ago # -
4 out of 5 - the Orange is waiting for a freehub from Hope
Two of the others will soon need new brake blocks but they have rim brakes - how dragtastic is dealing with rim brakes after disks?
Another needs the forks sorting, but they still work.
Interesting this, I used to think that riding time divided by n bikes would equal the same amount of fettling. IT DOESN'T. It equals fettling x nbikes. How the hell does that work please?
Posted 1 year ago # -
2 of 4..I have a weekend of work ahead
Roadie fine
SS fine
FS broken rear mech new one waiting to be fitted
Hardtail needs indexing fixing and some brakes need sorting
I only have 2 seatpost between 3 bikes GD remote and carbon one yet i have 3 spare saddlesPosted 1 year ago # -
4 out 4 but the fixie is dodgy as the chainring only has 3 bolts and one (29'er) is build in progress so doesn't count as I've only had the frame a week.
Posted 1 year ago # -
3 out of 3 but hoping to get a new frame soon as it appears i'm lacking in numbers compared to most on here and i feel i can justify it to my OH now

3 out of 3
Doesn't seem to happen often and I think rear shock problems coming very soon on FS
