Wow, now I see they way you guys position these, I have a lot of room to grow my collection. You can differentiate on weather conditions giving you 3 versions, and then backups, giving you 6 versions of one type of bike.
So far I have positioned mine by purpose and nostalgia:
Race Road bike - 07 Titus Oseo
Race MTB - 08 Giant Anthem
First bike I paid retail for / Century bike - 98 Sampson Z7 Pro Road
Retro Touring - '80 Trek 610
Tow the kids trailer MTB - '93 GT Timberline
Ride the suburban trails with the kids bike - '95 Cannondale V500
Loaner Road bike - '02 Cannondale CAAD6 (very successful with this actually, got 3 people hooked on cycling this year with the loaner)
Time Trial bike - Rossin Crono of unknown year.
I also use the trick of replacing a bike with one of the same color and she won't notice.
