nicolaisam650b 150mm full susser and a 29er Hardtail
The perfect combo.
4 or 6 are mine, depending on how I count
1 ss mtb
1 ht
1 ss commuter
1 old steel road bike
All cheaply built by me
Plus my 89 clockwork and vitus 979 that I hardly ever ride so don't count
Hardtail, 160mm full suss, DH bike, and a commuter
About to get the 10th bike in the house soon - but to be fair only 3 are mine and two of the others are up for sale
Mine are;
Orange evo
On-one inbred 29er
And coming soon Genesis Croix de fer
Just wish I had more room!
Two built and used. Two (new) in bits, one ready to build, one waiting for wheels and a saddle.

OCR road bike
Arkose commuter/shopper/this weather bike. (Technically this one belongs to my employers though).
I've got 2 of my old road frames in the loft, a 1973 Ellis Briggs and a 1976 Columbia GB I don't think they'll ever see the light of day again though. Oh and an even older Bob Jackson with track drop-outs.
Edit. And my old Soul frame's in the loft, too.
MTB hardtail
Road
Brompton
(in ascending frequency of use these days)
4 and a half. Bad enough, but even worse I guess when they are all so similar.
Rigid singlespeed Lee Cooper. Slick-shod 'urban' MTB.
DMR Trailstar with 80mm forks. Currently indoors on the turbo.
Identiti Mr Hyde with 100mm forks. My 'spare' or 'backup' HT.
Cotic BFe with 150mm forks. Main do-it-all bike (AM in marketing speak I guess).
And the 'half' is an old Peugeot MTB frame and a pile of parts that are due to be turned into an MTB/cruiser hybrid pub bike.

1 x big bike.
1 x little bike.
1 cotic soda with two wheel sets (flows and crests) depending where I'm riding. . A bike for racing, general trail riding, epic rides and trail centres!

cynic-alFat bike (full suss, hone made)
I got to see photos of this machine!!
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
Hardtail 26
Marin Palisades Trail SS comuter in construction
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!
2 road summer and winter.
3 mountain. Bouncy, rigid and shopper.
13 for me, 11 are mine though but need to shed a couple as not really used enough but got a mate building me a road fixie frame and craving for a fatty and a BMX cruiser to play/maybe race on.
