1. Italy -- one fast, fun, fair-weather road bike
2, 3. Austria -- one high-end collectible and one sports touring road bike
4. France -- one beater / transportation bike
5. USA -- one mountain bike
No room among the garage rafters for any more.

Italy -- 3 road bikes with Columbus tubing and sidepull brakes, and 1 Cyclocross with Columbus tubing.
Belgium -- 1 road bike with Columbus tubing
France -- 2 road bikes with 531 tubing and centerpull brakes
USA -- 1 road bike with 531 tubing and sidepull brakes and 1 with Columbus tubing and sidepull brakes
I also have 2 steel road bikes that are kept around the house for friends and family and 3 modern road bikes for messy weather.
