2

two

My apartment can fit only 2, but hopefully with a new rack I'll get the number up to 3 :D

Five personal bikes. My wife has two.

Two. My spanky bike and my work bike. At the moment I'm using my spanky bike as a work bike because my work bike lacks a pannier rack, and I'm not yet ready to chance a backpack on my shoulder.

I have one and a half at the moment :)

One and a half? Is the half a unicycle?

Nope, just a frame and wheelset atm :) That is the half.

see signature below...

Trek 7000 and Raleigh M20. Soon to acquire a Schwinn Le Tour. :D

Two. One roadbike and a full-suspension XC MTB. My wife has a hardtail. I'm looking to add a few more bikes including a rigid and/or hardtail (I miss my old rigid) and possibly a bike for travel.

Two that i ride. Litespeed Vortex on the road, and Stumpjumper FSR-XC for the trails. i own 4 bikes total.

why not?

I have 9 bikes my favorite of which are a Trek 5200, Trek 8000, and a Trek Tandem. Hum... I see a trend here.

My garage looks like a police auction.

I got three...

'02 Lemond Alpe d'Huez
'81 Bianchi Touring bike
Mid-'90s huffy, soon to be replaced...

1 and 1/2
2001 Kona Race Lite Cinder Cone- Only frame and fork
2001 Hardrock Comp

four:

2001 marinoni leggero road bike
2001 kona major jake cyclocross frame with 9 speed campagnolo centaur and a carbon fork
1997 specialized s-works m2 mountain bike that i rarely ride anymore
1992 specialized rockhopper sport mountain bike that i use as a utility/commuter bike

I have 2, they are listed in my signature. I'm thinking of selling my bridgestone and replacing it with another vintage bike.

Why replace? Just get another new bike. My biggest cycling regrets have been getting rid of my old bikes because I thought I would never ride them. Then of course, I started to miss them.

2003 KHS Flite 300
1990-1993 Giant Perigee (not sure what year)

As per my signature 3 bikes

Down to two. Gary Fisher Paragon, and Surly Cross Check. I hope to add a few more soon, and I'll NEVER give away another baby.

2 and 1/2, two complete bike and a Bike frame

Not sure of #, will total at end of post:

MTB's:

92 Norco Katmandu MTB, the commuter
98 Norco Bush Pilot - the MTB
85 ish Norco Bush Pilot - the cottage classic MTB
98 ish Raleigh Ambush MTB - recent Police Auction $22 acquisition

Plus most of an old Norco fished out of a canal (parts) and a Raleigh Big Horn fished out of a creek - waiting for refurbishing


Road bikes:

1985 ish Bianchi Paggio - Italian racing red
1989 ish Bianchi Strada - dark blue
1986 ish Bianchi Strada - Silver grey, $3 @ same auction as Raleigh MTB above.
1980 ish Raleigh Super Record
1985 ish Cambio Rino

Once I start acquiring expensive bikes (scheduled for next year), I'll probably start culling the herd.

The answer to the question - 9 bikes + 2 partials!!! (I woulda said 7!)

I've got 2 bikes:

03 Bianchi Veloce

02 Gary Fisher Utopia

That's all my wife will let me have for now....She has an 02 Raleigh c200.

4 Bikes
Bianchi SL Lite with Campy Centaur
Rocky Mtn. with Marz Z1 MCR, Hayes, going to get Sun Singletracks
Trek 4300 which will be built into a singlespeed/trials bike
1980's Trek Steel 520 with Suntour

My biggest cycling regrets have been getting rid of my old bikes because I thought I would never ride them. Then of course, I started to miss them.

That's why I have as many as I do. I have just never gotten rid of any of my bikes. I still have every bike I have ever bought and ridden. I did buy one for the parts and then sold the frame with out ever riding it. Maybe I'll change.

Just started biking earlier this year and hooked big time...I no longer need my 190mph drag car: I own 1 mtn bike and 1 road bike (I want more!!)
Started off with a '03 Specialized Hardrock Pro
Today I just bought a '99 Specialized Allez Sport w/Utegra components (bike has very low miles and still looks new.

P.S. Don't they say, "He who dies with the most toys wins" LOL ?

4:

'02 Specialized FSR XC - MTB
'98 Norco Torrent - backup MTB and commuter
'99 Raleigh R700 with Sachs/Campy - road bike
'89 Specialized Stumpjumper - "city Bike"

some day i will build up a SS/fixie

I have four. My pride is my 2001 Kein Quantum. The others are a 94 Nishiki Sport, and a 2001 Fuji Touring bike.
My fourth bike is a '96 Scott 520 road bike. I am being unfair to my old Scott bike- I have taken it on like 4 bike tours of Europe. Can't get over feeling it is jinxed?
I crashed on it so hard, almost lost the use of my right shoulder due to ligament damage. I can't get over some kind of feeling it is hexed. It is not its fault; because, suspect I missed some object in the road which took me down. Not its fault, but have not gotten on it since. Others inclined to feel that way? Would probably trade it in on a newer touring/commuter bike.
