I usually have to stop for a moment, mentally track where each bike is stored (12 road bikes in the garage, 4 non-road bikes in the garden shed, my Twenty in the workshop, the No Dead Kittens bike at work - that's the current inventory) before I can give an answer. Then, I can always mention the remaining partially completed ones that'll probably be on the road before the end of fall . . . . . .
