Bikes – how many and what you got?

Browsing lots of threads here it seems that loads of people have a good number of bikes, certainly more than me.

I’ve only got 2
– Specialized Allez, now running mudguards, flat bars, singlespeed and LOTS of reflective tape. Commuter and hack bike
– Specialized Hardrock Sport Disc – only current MTB. Standard apart from a Reverb on it

I’ve got a Cotic Solaris on demo (have had it a week) and will be buying this but for now the Spesh is my only MTB

3 is a struggle in the garage as I’ve got my motorbike in there as well as loads of tools, storage and other bits. 2 in the garage is very manageable. Wife’s bike is in the shed. Would love a 3rd though, either a cyclocross bike or a utility bike

So, what ya got?

Would you like us to post our addresses and where to find the spare key too?

Just one bike for me. Intense 6.6 that’s a bit of a ‘Trigger’s broom’ 🙂

New road bike, fatbike, full suss yeti,ibis tranny h/t, chromag stylus h/t and last but not least Salsa spearfish full suss 29er. And yes my house is full 😉 ( I need to shift some)

Giant Trance 650b 150/140mm FS

Ragley Piglet 26er HT with 140mm forks.

Ribble Ultralite road bike.

Blur LTc
Scandal 29er
Haro 500.1 (its a BMX)

Just the two… One a Merlin Malt 2 hardtail and the other a Malt-R road bike.

I’d toyed with the idea of getting a full sus, but just don’t think I would use it to its potential.

4…
ancient HT (sits in the store room all the time)
even more ancient 531c road bike (also sits in the store room)
Droessiger CX bike (gets used quite a bit)
Cotic Soul (also gets used quite a bit)

been thinking about making it 5 as a winter project

I have none and my shed has security lights, a reinforced steel door and an alarm. I don’t live where you think I do and the bike that I don’t have is locked inside the shed and is of no value.

Merida road bike
Merida Full suss 140mm travel
Merida MTB singlespeed rigid with slicks for commuting
Surly 1×1 winter snot bike
Dean Ti 26er singlespeed hardtail, formerly the dream bike
Salsa Marmasita hardtail singlespeed, 29ers really are better
Kinesis 5T cross bike 1×7

a black one with 1 gear and a black one with 10 gears

Only 1 bike I’m afraid. Specialized Camber.

Stooge
Orange 5
Kona Explosif ’13
Pinnacle Arkos 3

..and a few others that don’t really count.

1 cx
1 HT mtb
1 Fs mtb (in bits)
1 wet weather road bike
1 crit/winter(dry weather) road bike
1 summer (dry weather) road bike

No bikes, just an enraged mountain lion called Gerald.

On Friday morning I had 3, by Friday afternoon I had two and a pile of bits. I’m hoping to get down to one soon then very quickly back up to two with some fatness.

I have a guard cat. He’ll chew yer legs off.

It’s all in the name dear!

2 x 29er (Chinese 29er & ktm 29er)
2 x road bike (px alu pro & px ti pro)
1 x commuter/pub bike

Too many ‘aggro’ hardtails (can never bear to part with one when I get a new one).

One ancient Lee Cooper XC bike now wearing slicks and only a single cog.

One very bright orange Orange.

Retro M Trax hybrid. (Butted cromo, Ti bars, full XT)
Batavus Personal Deluxe. (Nexus 3, roller brakes, hub dynamo, USB charger)
2001 Cannondale f500 (CAAD3, Headshok, XT, Hope/717s, Hope minis)
Dahon Speed D7 (cromo, folding)

Do me for all my types of riding, XC, transport, utility, light touring etc.

Lots, all rigid and with one gear and yet they are all “NEEDED”. Luckily new lady taz also approves of niche and I have unfettered access to add to the collection as long as I build her shiny bikes as well. None of this trying to hide bikes shite or lying about cost of bits, like some have to do 😀

11 or 13 I loose track. Most un ridden 🙁

6, all in the living room….

That’s not what I can see on Google Streetview.

Mrs MTG is quite happy for me to spend as much as I want on bikes, as she gets the hand me downs. 😀

As to the original question;
Several, including wheels from 20″ to 52″, a choice of 1, 3, 14, 20 or 27 gears and even some with two seats.

Hmmm, I do a fancy a Brompton as well, just cos

There is no way I would want my bikes in the house (and I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t be welcome there anyway!)

What I really need is a double garage (or at the least a modern size garage, mine is tiny)

Nothing new,

Kobe Ti
Pastey Howler, in touring guise
Giant Reign
Scott MC50 needs a few bits

Next purchase will be a full on tourer, either Jamis Aurora Elite 2015, or Genesis Tour de Fer, or something very much like them

2008 Kona Caldera which is my commuter, converted to 1×10
2012 Saracen Zen X, gears/brakes upgraded to XT + Reverb
2014 Ariel 14x FS just recently built up.

Have reached an all time high number which I need to do something about it – thing is they are each worth more to me sentimentally than they seem to be work on the secondhand market.

1X Carbon road bike
1X Carbon TT or Tri bike
1X Ti Cx bike come winter hack
1X steel fixed wheel bike for bimbling about the village
1X alfine geared steel 29er ‘winter mtb’
1X full suspension alu mtb
1X turbo bike
1X recumbent touring bike*

probably enough ‘bits’ to cobble together another 2 frankenbikes.

* new (to me) purchase and current favorite play thing.

Genesis Croix de Fer 10 for commuting
2006 Santa Cruz Heckler for gathering dust
Rockman Liberte 26″ trials bike for hoppy hoppy stuff
And got a friend knocking up a steel frame to build up a 20″ trials bike.

Moots disc road bike
Seven disc gravel bike
Moots disc CX
Lynskey single speed 29er
Brompton 2 speed

All locked in a bomb shelter on the 24th floor of a gated and guarded apartment block in Singapore. Why every house in Singapore has a bomb shelter, I have no idea, but it makes great bike storage!

3.
A Specialized Allez
A HT
A FS.

The HT gets most use.

Don’t require any more than that.

Orange Alpine 160
Specialized Crosstrail
On-one Fatty
Hurley BMX

Not sure how I ended up with six. 😳

a Flyer, a Rocket and a Pig

I have one bike,that I ride at a time………….. 8)

Lots of Oranges!

Planet X road bike (carbon, ultegra)
Trek road bike – winter bike with mudguards and slightly wider tyres
Pompetamine – alfine and a rack for commuting
Revolution track – fixie
Kona hardtail
Cannondale CAAD10 at my parents house in Spain

I thought I had more than that. I know I got rid of one recently, but I didn’t realise I was down to 6 now…
