Fixie/SS - needs a SFN and top cap (unridable)
456 - needs a rear spoke fitting and the tyres swaping from 2.5 supertackies to something more XC (rideable though)
'chopper' - define rideable, it's an aquired handling taste
1 1/2 out of 2
1 mountain bike and 1 road bike (road bike works on the turbo trainer but not used on the road in a couple of years)
2 out of 3 for me, the one that doesn't is my old 90's mtb being kept for no reason apart from memories ๐ no intention of getting it running anytime soon. One day though I will.
7 out of 7 (assuming I'm brave / daft enough to ride the hybrid with a turbo specific tyre on the rear)
I think I'm 1 out of 4. Plan to get the other 3 fully working in the next few weeks.
(edit 0 out of 4 as I need to fix a spoke on the rigid inbred damm)
between me and the wife - 11 (2 share a pair of wheels though)
3 out of 3 as the TallBoy just got built up again to join the Scandal SS and Road bike.
4 out of 4
Road bike
CX bike
Hardtail
BMX
But to be fair, the first 2 are the only ones that get used at the moment.
All of 'em, though my Chorus 11 RH shifter has been temporarily repaired with a rubber band after the spring in the paddle broke, seems to shift better that way...
One needs a wheel refitting from a bearing problem,
One needs a new seatpost
One needs building up as its a frame only right now..
So thats 0 out of 3 ๐ฏ
2 from 3. I could ride the third but it has no front brake, so I wouldn't want to ride it anywhere fun.
Two out of three bikes in working order. The commuter is sitting in a pit of indecision, as I don't know quite what to do with it. I might buy a cheap road bike to replace it. The biggest issue is me, I had shingles at the end of February and am still waiting to fully recover That combined with my lardiness due to lack of exercise and old age doesn't help.
4 out of 5
SS needs the new headset putting in it that has been sitting in its box since before chrimbo
All others jump on and go
6/9,although 2 of them are on loan from a mate.So if it's just mine it's 4/7....
2/2 for me.
Perhaps 3/3 if I wanted to nick the other halfs Myka Sport, which is very nice to ride.
If topping tyres up is allowed (my TT bike has latex tubes so always needs its tyres topping before riding - right now they're completely flat having not been ridden in months), and presumably also jobs which take less time like putting a QR front wheel back on or removing from the turbo, then 8 or 9/11. I'm not quite sure if the CX bike has wheels with tyres on. A couple of old mountain bikes in bits awaiting me being made redundant to find time to put them back together (I'm actually kind of looking forward to the idea!)
Though I see some are counting bikes in their garage which they don't ride, in which case 12 or 13/16.
3ish out of 4 (my HT is tyreless just now, but they're in the cupboard so it could be ready to ride in 10mins).
Includes wife/kids bikes
Endorfin OK
Nicolai needs forks
Patriot OK
Kona DH x 3 OK
Norco DH OK
456 x 4 all OK
Turner x 2 OK
Dahon OK
Giant OK
Klein bit wobbly in places but rideable
Specialized OK
Scott OK
16 3/4 out of 18 is OK, I think
Not all the 16 3/4 get ridden much, and 6 of them are out in France anyway.
Household bikes, 5/5 ready to roll 8)
Of my nine all except one are rideable now, although a couple would benefit from a bit more air in the tyres, and one of them isn't shifting cleanly between the front rings.
All other other bikes in the garage (2 for SWMBO and one each for my kids) are also useable currently.
1 out of 5 8)
2 out of 2
Also have frame+wheels+forks+couple of other bits, but that hasn't ever been fully built up so it doesn't count ๐
2/4
mtb and road are fine
SS needs a new rear brake, CX is strapped to the garage ceiling.
SS and CX are also in a different country.
5 out of 7
6 out of 6 for me, just in from the garage after tweaking the yeti ready for tonight
1 out of 3.
One is waiting for a new wheel to turn up and the other has a rear hub that's almost knackered, a shock to be serviced and headset bearings to be replaced.
2 out of 2, although the gears need a tweak on the P7. The unicycle is useable though!
2.9 out of 3 for me. MTB, Road and Pub are all fine but the MTB needs some tinkering, hence missing 0.1.
4 out of 4ish
SS - tip top
FS - tip top
Commuter SS - tip top
Road - just needs a rear puncture fixing tonight/new tyres!
1 out of 1 here . 8)
2/2 and I love them both,
3 - two are mine & one is the wife's
Of my 5, one has been split to sell off as parts, and my BMX just needs the pedals putting on and some air in the tyres, less than 5 mins work easily.
So realistically, 4/4 (not counting the one I'm selling), which is pretty much just about the first time ever for me! Downsizing the MTB collection has helped drastically with this percentage for definite though...
Eight out of ten in total, four out of five for me
One GT hardtail with a flat, one onza trial bike lurking in the garage that's looking very sorry for itself with two flat Tyres and leaky hs33's, I'll sort it one day ๐ณ
Four out of four (except one is in Greece and I'm not ๐ )
All of them are ready to roll.
Though the tandem is just crying out for a custom built full suss frame. ๐
3
mountain bike
4x/jump bike
town bike
No need for another one...
Four, though only two are rideable, the hardtail and the roadbike. Waiting for a front mech for a xc build.
all of them though they are stored with wheels off only the commuter/roadie could be ridden as is
I would need to swap the GD over as well...bargain own multiple bikes get ine dropper post and share between your bikes as cheaper than 4 ok posts and 4 ok seats
4 of 5, although the 5th only needs handlebar grips & brakes set up, but that will have to wait till I've mopped up the blood after slicing a finger open whilst setting up the gears ๐
11 out of 12
3 of 4
None out of the three i own, 1 has bust brakes, another has a flat and the third i took the chain off for a good clean so after this coffee i am going to sort them out.
2/2 - one painfully clean'n'shiny in perfect health after a w/e fettlefest, one [s]slightly grubby[/s] totally filthy but running well....
3/3 although my mtb needs the stem/bars straightened.
Got 2 more bikes back home, don't have a clue what state they're in. Haven't seen them for almost 3 months.
