Can't fit them all in the sheds now 😕
1 very expensive 150mm Full susser & 1 cheap Road Bike, would like a nice carbon bling road bike for the summer I could use the cheapo for winter albiet with new wheels and groupset. Maybe another mtb just in case.
Rigid SS MTB for 'no fuss' all winter riding.
HT SS MTB for slightly more comfortable all year riding.
HT geared MTB for Enduros.
HT geared MTB for XC racing.
Fixed road bike for winter training.
Fixed track bike for, erm.. track.
Geared road bike for winter training.
Geared road bike permanently attached to turbo.
Geared road bike for summer and TT.
Obviously I'm missing a lightweight FS MTB and a dedicated TT bike. And probably a 'proper' lightweight bike for road racing.
EDIT: And a CX bike. I reckon I need one of those too.
4
1. Boardman HT (own build)
2. Giant TranceX (much bodged)
These two bikes have a enough overlap to ride one when the other is broken, though the TranceX feels distinctly beefier now. But generally the HT is for winter use as the FS is a beetch to clean. Although I currently find myself sneaking off with the HT quite a lot because it's fun. It feels like how I imagine having an affair feels.
3. Commuter (old steel MTB converted for road-use)
4. Folder (cheap, nasty and surprisingly useful)
jedi - Memberi own 7 bikes
Good number 😉
I currently own 3.
1) Litespeed Obed
2) Pace RC200
3) Hewitt Cheviot SE
4 - a full susser, hardtail, old hardtail with slicks and rigid forks and a road bike. Plus my old NRS frame that I can't bring myself to get rid of!

'07 Five
'10 Cube
Need to thin the fleet so a bike will be going soon 🙁
I have 7 - can I join the "seVen' club please 😉 still need a new Soul, though for that I suppose one could go
1. Dialled Love/Hate running 1x9
2. Mid 90's Specialized Rockhopper frame, built as a fully rigid 69er SS (Frankenbike)
3. Old Retro steel Ribble Roadie, (probably f/s soon as a bit to big for me, and superseded by..)
4. Boardman Comp roadbike, just got this and its lovely
5. Specialized Langster SS/Fixedgear Roadie
6. Kona Unit frame shortly to be built for the SSUK's
7. Oh yeah and an Electra Ratfink, for those lazy Sunday rolls to the pub
i dont think i've missed anyone
slight edit...
is there a seVen club??
I've been totally brutal recently.
I've got it down to three mountain bikes, two road bikes, one cross bike and one track bike.
Quite pleased with myself really.
I've got 5 built up (Enduro, Epic, Soul, Zion, Roadrat) and enough frames and bits to build 3 more.
Like that collection ron j !! And Samuri is in the se7en club

3=
1 mtb
1 road bike
1 commuter - somewhere between the 2 above!
I have two,
1) 2005 Turner 5-Spot
2) 1995 Sunn Xircuit, rigid/singlespeed for commuting.
None.
Condor Leggero and a Kona Major Jake for off road and to get me to work....perhaps this isn't the forum for me 😥
so seven is about right.........
This site has a lot to answer for. I used to have three - a hardtail, a bmx and the ratbike - and that was more than enough.
Now the the ratbike's on its way to becoming a wheel truing stand, the hardtail's the SS hardtail, the bmx is now the old bmx and I've got the new bmx, the shiteweather SS commuter, the fixed gear commuter, the antique, the lending hack, the good hardtail, the winter road bike and most recently the dream road bike.
Mrs tyred has two and the Tyreds Jr (combined age 7) have three between them. Maximum capacity is approaching, we'll have to move soon.
17....lots of stuff in storage...people keep giving me old vintage type stuff..... 3 mtb`s in use
2 . . . and 2 frames (one of which is on ebay at the mo').
Maybe 7 is the magic number.....
I don't know about the rest of you but me and jedi are riding GODS and we've both got seven bikes. Looks like the millenia age riddle has been solved. The answer to 'what's the perfect number of bikes' is no longer 'n+1 where 'n' is the number of bikes you already own', the answer is far more simple than that.
7
Cotic Soul (Main ride)
Specialised Hardrock (Road convert)
Proper TTL (BMX)
Think I need another bike or 4 😉
3 (Cotic HT, Scott HT, Ridgeback roadbike)
plus a pile of bits to make one more (Drössiger CX bike)
9 or 10 used to have 15
Just the 4 (and plenty of bits...):
Cannondale Prophet 140mm FS
Rock Lobster 853 100mm HT
GF X-Cal 29er 80mm HT
One One Inbred 29er SS rigid
2; 700c commuter and XC full susser.
Would like to add a BMX/DJ type muck around on bike and a road bike.
Can't be arsed shuttling the DH stuff around here and I get bored of it TBH anyway, so no need for DH. Would be different if I lived need lift served maybe.
Don't need/want an XC hardtail either; ride for fun, not race, so pref the comfort of the full sus. Could go for 5" instead of the current 4", but again don't [i]need[/i] the extra cos of the terrain around here.
Roadie for "just riding" would be good; commuter has a small sus fork up front for the half asleep commute in and out of work and flat bars, but is a bit sluggish for longer rides when the point is the actual ride, not just transport.
Can't see the point of more than you can actually use and is why at present I would like another two, but don't actually have them. Would rather spend the money on other stuff, like travelling to new riding locations.
Seems I have 6
MTB
FS - Orange Sub 5
