  • 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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 😀

    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

    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.

    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.
