3
Spec Allez - winter road
Spec Roubaix - summer road
5 Spot - mtb fave
Orange Crush - for when i'm feeling unfit (most of the time)
Litespeed Toccoa - built into ss rigid weight weenie un-ridden cos it rides like a stiff gearless pig
96 Santa Cruz Tazmon frame - airshock stictionfest, should have bought a turner instead
Kona Kula at parents place in spain
Petrol
Kwak kx250f mx bike (not endurofag green lane sh@gger migh i add!)
Wants:-
29er Hardtail
29er FS
Erm....
On-One Ti29er (SS or gears depending on mood, my main race bike)
On-One Inbred SS (ye olde faithful)
Yeti 575
Cove Stiffee
Condor Pista (SS commuter)
Surly Steamroller (the old commuter - currently built as brakeless fixie but should just sell it)
Lynskey Cooper road bike (with powertap - the road/training bike)
Storck C1.1 (blinged up road bike - but rarely gets used because the powertap is on the Lynskey)
and a couple of frames lying round.
Just need a fast/light full susser for the 24 hour races, but the Storck and Surly will have to go... (that's downsizing, innit?)
Orange 5 diva
On-one SS
Rock Lobster geared MTB
Lemond Fillmore fixed
Not been out on the 5 much recently, but planning a welsh trail centre trip soon!
May swap the on-one for something else soon?
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.
Is there a prize for getting the right number ?
(10 ?)
>Unicycles don't count
Well, they might if you commute on 'em 😛 - I used to do about a mile at each end, to/from stations...
Orange 5 (one of the first ones)
Orange P7 (mud bike)

Ti 456 (lightish bike)

Current 3 and 1/2:
Chumba VF2

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)
Lemond Filmore fixie
Ti456 long travel hardtail for big climbing days and muddy winter XC
Blur Lt 5" for fast summer XC and trail centres
Boardman Team Carbon road bike, latest addition and whole new way to spend money.
Wouldnt mind a SS rigid hardtail but do I really need one.....???
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.
Just realised I need another one.. andrewh's carbon ASR please. For racing (badly) on!
