Have got use of quite a few and for the last 6 weeks have been riding my daughters Enduro whilst hitting the trails in New Zealand.
I regularly swap between my Specialized Enduro and S Works Turbo Levo.
The Singlespeed (Kona Bandwagon)
The Full Sus (Transition Spur)
The Hardtail (Yeti ARC)
The Road Bike (OPEN UPPER Ltd)
The Backup (PlanetX Tempest v4)
Aaaand…since you’re only allowed 5 images per post (come on STW - know your audience 🙂 )
The Gravel Bike (Litespeed T5 Gravel)
The Commuter (Carbonda CFR 696)
Bonus points @daffy for presenting the collection in a uniform manner. Hat tip.
Fairly certain I have the most boring/bog standard pair of bikes on here! Boardman road bike (which hasn't actually seen the road for months, rollers only!) and a Vitus hardtail.
Specialized Chisel FS, started life as a base model, now upgraded to Evo spec with a 130mm 34 perf elite up front. This bike has been a revelation to me, bought it to replace my gravel bike (ongoing wrist injury made holding drop bars painful) far more comfortable and not much slower for the groups I ride with. The real surprise was that I was actively choosing this over my 150mm trail bike (a Sonder Evol 29er)...

...so I figured I need to put some distance between the bikes, sonder sold and this purchased

Deviate Claymore, NOS frame, forks and shock from ebay, everything else from the Sonder (it was a very overbuilt trail bike), only built this morning, rear brake needs to be bled still, first ride likely to be next week.
I tried to show you my two bikes but the forum won't let me embed photos from pic hosting sites the way that used to work. (With the img tags). Any ideas?
@_tom_ - I'm willing to bet you don't enjoy riding any less than anyone else on this thread though.
Of the bikes in the garage that are currently still rideable...
Custom Marino frame. Designed as a mullet with '+' tyres, mismatched travel, 1x9. great all-rounder.
'Big' bike. Converted to mullet so silly slack, '+' tyres, 1x9. Monster truck.
Do-it-all hardtail. Custom paint, 27.5+, 1x10. Just gets the job done, no frills.
Pump track hack. 26er, singlespeed, 100mm jump forks. Feels like a twitchy little BMX these days.
Early 29er. Bought as a winter 'fitness' bike. Soon to be rebuilt as a 'what if gravel was MTB rather than road?' experiment.
Home built bamboo road bike with MTB DNA (1x10, flat pedals, flat bars).
Rat cruiser. 90's MTB throwback (Peugeot MTB frame, Tange Prestige forks, Twentyfourseven cranks).

The MTB yes, jury's still out on the road bike though 🙂 but my enjoyment on that's more down to drivers attitudes towards cyclists than the bike itself! Think I'd have been better off getting a light and fast rigid MTB for local rides though.
