do you own? I know it's probably been covered and the answer is obviously (n+1) but that aside, how many bikes do you currently have in your collection?
Built up, 3
Plus another 3 or 4 frames, some wheels, a brakeset, you know how it is.
APF
one and a half..
Road bike - Trek 1400.
MTB - Rock Lobster 853.
Tourer/Commuter Spesh Rockhopper.
BMX - Mongoose Expert.
Enough to be getting on with for the time being.
Just one (at a time 😉 )
I do! Luckily I have a big shed. At the moment working:
On One 456
On One Pompino
Giant TCR Aliance
Giant Omnium
Trek Madone 5.2
Raleigh Butchers bike
Kona Humu
What I really want to know is who has the most bikes on here? Chap I used to ride with had 80+ so the rumour went.
Two.
Marin Wolf Ridge.
Whyte 19 Steel.
6 ish 4 rideable as I dont have enough wheels or seatpost/saddles to go round.
Show us a pic of the butchers bike, always fancied one!
3 in total, road bike, trail bike & DH bike. Trouble is my wife has the same! Oh, and we share an old BMX as a pub/shop bike.
Hmmmmmm, I have a couple of frames, forks, disks, wheels, shocks etc. Maybe we can set up some kind of swap shop to get these random components being used. Seems a shame to have them sitting gathering dust!
5, about to be deduced to 4 when I can decide what frame to buy
ten
mrs kilo
nine
No kids, no more room either as a fair few have to be outhoused at present.
2001 Specialized Stumpjumper FSR
2003 Cannondale 1FG

2010 Rose Thrill Hill 8
2009 Felt F85 - Road bike
Kona A (currrently in bits)
Recently gone down to just one due to money being tight and the fact that the full suss just wasn't getting used, new BFe frame yesterday (replaces a BFe but gone down a size), i'm happy with it for all the riding it does from xc to full on dh, not the fastest or comfiest tool for the job but it's certainly got the fun factor for me.

No weeding /fence painting required. Might need a tidy up though. Or I could go for a ride.

Rusty Spanner, on here:

Can't access my account to link photo for some reason...
Currently in BBQ guise, but has a wicker basket that drops in instead. A good laugh for gentle summer picnic rides with the basket on!
How does anyone bring themselves to sell them? When I look at how much I paid for my bikes and the second hand value/emotional attachement I can't do it. Reading this thread I'm not the only one!
"4 + 1 frame" +1
Classic Inbred, C'dale Prophet (broken), C'dale Gemini, SC Superlight & Marin MV (06) frame in the loft.
Inbred get ridden the least.
just the one, for now.......
2 but am thinking of getting rid of the full sus as I do like riding it, but I can't see much use for sofa-like 7" of travel on the kind of trails I normally ride (Woburn dh stuff mainly but also Cannock and FOD). Was great for Whistler but too much for pretty much everything I'd normally ride..
Ideally I'll eventually have a road bike, a decent all rounder hardtail mtb (or maybe short travel fs) and a bmx 🙂 Don't like redundancy and living in the east midlands and having 2 mtbs that can only get used at weekends seems a bit silly to me.
Er, 5. 😳
Currently reduced to 3.
Dirt, 29er HT and Nukeproof Mega, covers the bases.
A pitch pro, Orange crush and an old 531 raleigh
kilo - 19 bikes? 😯
3, and 1 for my wife. hopefully 4 in 2012, as I'm going to buy a mountain bike again (currently have 2 road bikes and a commuter...)
only one bike these days.. can afford another one.
4 is the magic number

That's enough. For now....
Got two, one all rounder the other super light XC racer, the light ones got to go, not sure how to sell it, wether to sell it complete or break it into bits and maybe achieve more for it, is there much demand of DT Swiss stuff second hand?
4 and one more on the way.
Handjob
Fritzz
Intense M1
Roadrat
Bfe on way...
Plus Mrs Mc Lapierre HT and a couple old 531 road frames.
Oh, marin full sus in shed...
7 then.
Four. Hardtail, full susser, road bike, cross bike.
kilo - 19 bikes?
Yes it could be viewed as a little ott, obviously if we were the same height we could reduce the total but unfortunately that is not the case :-).
I should add two are time trial bikes and one of Mrs K's a proper track bike so no use for anything else, four at a house in Ireland, couple of commuters, two are "best days only" road bikes so you need normal day road bikes and the rest are nice!
When Mrs K met me she didn't cycle - and I hadn't for many years so had no bike and she said at the time "I don't understand why you need more than one bike", how she's changed!!
I think we may have enough now and I did consider getting rid of one recently (but didn't), mind you we haven't got a tandem yet!
DMR Trailstar
Coyote Dual SS
Kona Hahanna rigid SS
Toying with either a Coiler or Dawg when funds allow...

I sometimes worry that I spend more time assembling bikes than riding the buggers.
Parlee z4 dry race bike
Colonago clx all weather race bike
Principia winter bike

Hmmm, should probably find a new forum....

So jealous on the Parlee.. one of the local shops near me is now a dealer and they look SWEEEEEEET. i love the single direction carbon they had on the tubes on the frame they had in stock last.
As for my bikes;
Giant Reign X
Commencal Supreme 6 (Which is cracked)
Giant Defy3 road bike
and soon to have;
Giant TCR Advanced 2 2012
6 for me
3 for mrs o
Oh yes and a tandem.
Positive amateurs compared to mr and mrs kilo but like them we are different sizes and mrs o couldn't ride when we met. Now she points out unusual forks etc when we see bikes (as if I hadn't noticed.....!)
