Road Cycling - how many bikes

how many bikes do you have? I have 3 road bikes, a tandem and a track bike...is that too many?

No such thing. I have 4. I want to add one more in the next couple of years, too.

2 - one road, one mountain.

See, you need a couple more. Save all of your spare parts so you can build at least one up from your own parts bin.

Too easy to $ell the parts on eBay! Makes upgrading so much more cost effective compared to the "old days"!

I have two, both Bianchi: Volpe and Vigorelli, I guess you can tell I love steel, STEEL is real!
Corsaire :)

One road. One mountain. Looking to possibly add a second road (keeping fingers crossed).

how many bikes do you have? I have 3 road bikes, a tandem and a track bike...is that too many?

About a year ago, there was an extensive poll on this subject, but I can't find it as the search engine rejects words such as "how" and "many". You might get some good info there.

Anyway, we currently have 7 in the garage - 3 road, 1 hybrid, 2 mtn, 1 3-wheeler.

I have two road bikes, my parents have a hybrid each, my brother has a mountain bike, and we also have some really old Bianchi we need to throw out.

Road: carbon, ti, (they are hard to choose between), and aluminum that collects dust very well; have a FS mountain bike = (urban tank) but a blast, and a city bike. And have been trying out track bikes; want one.

I have my 02 Bianchi Giro, My old school Bianchi Brava, My old school Bianchi TT funny bike, a very old heavy schwinn tandem and am thinking of getting a Bianchi Virata and a Bianchi Pista... And when I have the last two I will still want a Bianchi L'una.
In the house we have all my bikes I already mentioned and then my sons 02 Bianchi Giro, A Nishiki TT funny bike we are building, and my wifes Bianchi Milano and her Mongoose saint, so we have a total of 8 bikes all thru out the house... you can never have too many bikes :D

I think steel is great, I have a ritchey, paramount track, and a davidson tandem in steel. But CF is best for the long distance rides and the new salsa is setup for climbing. I'll wait a year before talking the wife into letting me have a cross bike. :rolleyes:

i have two track bikes (an old lotus sprint, and a vantuyl pursuit, complete with 650c front wheel), my road bike (old steel pinarello with '03 black 105 and FSA 'cross cranks), a bmx (terrible one barcode with all the fancy bmx ecoutremont), a trials (old aluminum ross glen canyon set up for trials, tiny gearing, bashguard, super grippy trials specific tires, weird, wide bars...etc.), an old monark singlespeed frame that still requires some work, my older BMX that is still in boston, in my friend's parents' basement, my first single speed (a motobecane mixte, at my parent's house in illinois), my girlfriend's two bikes, a lotus mixte and an old murray cruiser.

so...between her an i, we have....

10 bikes.

my friend in boston has 40 bikes.

Two road bikes, one aluminum (my fast bike) and one CF (my very fast bike :)). I'm looking for a used hardtail mtb for bombing around Tahoe and maybe pulling a trailer to the ice cream shop.

four bikes... one road,one cyclo-cross, one mtb, one utility/city bike [old mtb].

2- One road and one mountain bike. I would like at least on more road bike and a full suspension mountain bike.

how many bikes do you have? I have 3 road bikes, a tandem and a track bike...is that too many?

Two road bikes, a beater bike, a mountain bike and a tandem. My wife has a couple of hybreds to add and we have a "guest" bike. Right now my sons full suspension mountain bikes are also gracing the shop in my basement so that adds up to ten. I've got a hankering for a fixed gear as soon as I find a suitable frame to cobble up.

2 bikes in a small apartment. one track and one road. i can maybe move some stuff around and make room for a third one.
:)

3 total.

'03 Trek 5500
'02 Lemond Poprad
'98 Lemond Maillot Jaune

55/Rad

Let's see...

Road- '88 Trek 400T and '84 Bianchi Squadra waiting for rebuild ( Got hit on this one)
Fixed- '84 Trek 500
BMX- '86 Mongoose Californian (looptail frame)
Mtn.- Klein Pulse Comp hardtail

Also (meaning they might be sent down the river)- '84 Mongoose Californian, Univega something or other POS, Lotus Excelle road bike, a couple of misc. frames, etc.

So, I guess that makes...8.

I plan on adding a NEW road bike in the next month or so.

SIX! :D ;) :) :eek:

Good steel bike for dry, flat days.
Reasonable aluminium Specialized for drizzling days.
Light but very uncomfy Dedacciai 7003 alu for hill days.
Old steel 531 for commuting in running shoes.
Older steel 531 covered with mud-guards for slushys days
Very old Tange bike is my "milk bar" bike.

Cannondale R500 - stiff & fast!
Motobecane Super Touring - classic tourning bike
Diamondback MTn Bike- weighs a gazillion pounds!

I keep it simple and cheap with just 2 bikes, one road and one mountain.
