I think I've got a Whyte problem, I've got 3 Whyte 19's:- 19 alloy, 19 Race (Carbon Seat Stays),& a 19Ti.
there's also a Whyte E-5, Marin Mill Valley, Orbea CX bike, Genesis Flyer & a Pashley unicycle.
Ragley mmmbop- really good but I never use it...
Road bike- not been used for ages, will probably sell it...
Deluxe bmx- my baby, I ride her nearly every day...
Three and a half.
4,
A Hardtail,
A 6" full sus
A Roadie
A tourer
I'd like to add a TT (but dont need one really), also a light short travel sus, and a comfy Ti road/tourer.
So yeah, 7 seems to be the requirement,
raleigh chopper for dicking around with my mates
spec enduro for armchair riding
marin muirwood commuting to work
gt zaskar for local muddy rides
on one 456 for all other rides
a 29er
a ratbike
a bmx
of course I need more!
5 full bikes and 3 semi built.
DH race bike: Banshee Legend
XC FS race bike: Giant Anthem Advanced
Road race bike: Trek 6.9 Pro
CX/winter bike: Cresent Race CroMo
Commuter: Cresent ladies 😳
XC HT race bike: Univega carbon team
4X race bike: Univega 4X
Road race bike: Old ally ex-pro frame
BUT, [i]need [/i] more, need:
XC FS 29er race bike: GF (or now Trek) Superfly 100
XC HT 29er race bike (poss SS): Kingdom Bikes Titanium
Road fixie
AM 6" jobbie for our bike park
😆
None...it owns me - every time I ride it...
3 currently but want a 4th.
Orange P7 pro for proper MTB'ing
Trek 4300, with semi slicks as the commuter
Old Claude Butler MTB with child seat on for pottering about with the little ones.
I'm looking to add a road bike for the commute.
100!
That's 100 posts, not 100 bikes which would be nice but I manage fine with my 5:
- Geared mtb (Shortly to be a Singular Swift)
- SS mtb
- Old geared mtb/commute/baby carrying bike
- Road bike
- CX bike / winter road bike
Covers all the bases for me though I'd quite like a track bike again if I had the time to ever go to the track..
Ancient 1994 British Eagle Strike (for wobbling into town with - if it gets nicked, no problem(
1997 Stumpjumper steel fully rigid - being used by Dad but still mine
2007 Stumpjumper Comp HT - with about £1000 of upgrades - my baby
2008 Rockhopper Disk - Mrs Matts but I use it when mine is being fixed
2010 Allez Elite - very underused but good fun when we do have a ride on it
Many surfboards
Many waterskis
Two wakeboards
6 and counting.
Heckler 6" all day fun
Handjob 100mm Hardtail
Love/Hate 100mm SS Hardtail
Focus CX
Ribble Road (Winter)
DeRosa Merak Road ( Summer)
Soon to be getting either an Alpine/ BFe
In the words of my kids (not the wife!); "too many"! Actually, the wife says that as well. I just say it's cheaper than a sports car...err better not push that too hard I suppose.
Just the 5........
FS - Yeti 575
HT - Lobster 853
Roadie - Carbon Focus
1984 BMX, forgot what it is.
1989 Diamondback MTB
Oh yeh, the wife has 2 as well! 🙄
- 2005 Heckler with pikes (Real bike, doesn't get ridden enough as there just isn't the terrain around the north east to justify it)
- 456 with 100mm Rebas (rather embarrassingly built up from "spares" - local trails where a full suss would detract from the fun)
- Singular Swift single speed (Winter, mud, local trails, suffering, fun!)
- Surosa Audax (commuting - I hate road riding but this bike at least makes it more bearable than my old converted mtb with slicks)
I think I would only replace rather than add to this collection. I tend to swap parts between the 456 and Heckler to give a longer forked hardtail with sturdier wheels so does that count as a half?
My other half has 2.5 bikes as well and she wants a real road bike. Looks like space in the garage will be at a premium soon.
(Edit) Actually decided that I don't want to advertise on here the total content of my garage
1.5 bikes for me
my 2004 sworks enduro....its a do everything bike
Giant xtc frame only now as i have broken it down to build a bike for the GF
1 for the GF
the GF has a kona scrap which she loves as she has colour coded it all!
On-One race bike
Ribble road bike/training bike
Cube Agree Road bike
GF Rig 29'er (going soon)
Planet X Stealth (well, maybe if I go and pick it up, maybe not if she finds out)
BSA road steel thing - currently the turbo bike but maybe a fixie at some point
But I want/am swopping the 9'er for a CX bike and I'd like something trialsy again, depending on my back
I've got 4 based upon seasonal riding
Winter = s/s CX for road
= s/s (soon to be sturmey-archer 3 speed) HT MTB
Summer = Road bike
= full sus MTB
plus my old full sus MTB is now my Mrs D's
plus son has my wife's old MTB (but needs replacing as it's an old Muddy Fox)
Glad I read this thread, makes me feel better about my own four bikes.
Cove HJ - Not ridden much this year but hanging on to it as it's the only bike that child seat fits on.
Lapierre Zesty - Newish and ridden loads, think I'm in love with it.
Lapierre Froggy - Also newish and ridden quite a lot, mainly uplift and DH.
Charge Blender - Hardly ridden at all but it was a killer bargain so it's not losing me any money.
2 a green one and a black one 😀
1x FR/DH bike. But have access to my dads XC HT.
4-5 for me
On-one pomp for commuting
On-one 456 general trail centre, eduros etc.
Scandal 69er rigid SS light weight low maintenance for gentler touring rides. (Sorry bit of an on-one fest but they are tidy frames, well designed and good value.)
DH bike Giant Faith (old style) for DH upift days
Just built up a hack rigid SS out of parts lying around for general rides with the kids on the wee ride.
Horses for courses. I use all of the above for different rides through out the year. I think I'll stop at that though.
I enjoy fettling building up bikes, looking for bargains parts as much as the riding.
I am running out of space though so I'm having to build a garage.
THe wife's not happy about the amount of bikes I have.
2009 On One Scandal
1998 Merlin Malt 3 for commuting purposes (too many good memories to sell!)

1 x Merlin Malt 1 (Wife's bike that I sometimes use (when mine's broken), so only classed as half)
Now got 1 x 1986 Raleigh Pursuit Road Bike

Bearded Bike - Indy Fab Ti singlespeed
Retro Bike - Ibis Bow-Ti
Frankenbike - Orange Sub-zero
Town bike - Brompton
Play bike - unbranded trials thingo
bloody hell...
FSR Stumpjumper - for mountain biking
Giant SCR 2 - for road biking
Ridgeback Voyage tourer- commuting/touring (hopefully)/slower road biking
And an old 7 speed Nexus geared town bike - for going in town on the lash and leaving overnight at the station when away with work
I'd quite like a CX bike and a long travel steel HT too. And an Orange 5. And a lightweight full carbon road bike. And a winter mtb with a rohloff. Maybe a single speed. A refurbished 1998 Trek 4000... (you get the idea)
2 - single speed commuter (road bike) and mountain bike (voodoo bokor)
the only other bike I'd want is a posh roadbike (with gears obviously) for weekends etc
personally I can't see why you'd want any more than a pub bike, a road bike and mountain bike. I really can't see the point in having loads of bikes that all do the same job but that's just me...
nearly 6
Be-one road bike
Kona sutra tourer
Pashley tuberider
On-one ti456
On-one ti29er
Just ordered a pompetamine frame & fork so I can tidy the garage up by putting my spare bits onto a frame...

Bikes for touring,cross,racing ,tt ,track ,road race, training ,singlespeed,hardtail ,rigid mtb.pub bike.tandem+several others in the stable or waiting to join the stable
4, HT(SS), HT, FS and commuter.
A lot less than I used to! No SS, pub bikes or frankenhacks anymore - so it's 3...
'08 S-Works Roubaix for everything on the road - just stuck a seatpost mounted rack on it and done 350 odd miles touring...
'09 Giant Anthem X with long forks and wide bars for big days out
'10 On One 456 with short forks and wide bars for everything else.
There may be a couple of frames in the loft, and Mrs GTTH's bike that's just a bit of metal for dust to cling on to, but that's it right now, and I quite like it like that. 🙂
