Bikes: 1940s Fothergill, 1959 Allegro Special, 1963? Claud Butler Olympic Sprint, Lambert 'Clubman', 1974 Fuji "the Ace", 1976 Holdsworth 650b conversion rando bike, 1983 Trek 720 tourer, 1984 Counterpoint Opus II, 1993 Basso Gap, 2010 Downtube 8h, and...

Okay, first the easy part: me, 1962.

Now the tricky bit... what's my oldest bike? I don't know.
Oldest one I can put a date on, RRA, 1948; total 114.

But the Fothergill is at least a bit older than that.
Alvin track bike (in project form) late 30's.
Armstrong roadster,also a project at the moment, mid to late 30's.

Total, somewhere above 123 I guess. Not giving Stan serious competition.

Oh, sure, change the rules on us!

But I have ridden the RRA on a few centuries. It's a great bike for that. So I can claim a score of 214 in that game.
