I'm going to use today to take pictures of all the others and likely post several of them for sale - we'll just see what happens!

I think noglider has the right idea w/ the number. Under 10 is manageable, but over that things start getting a bit out of hand, due to my own space and constraints. I do tend to think that the people that are still 'bike people' but only own one bike, probably ride the most, have the most up-to-date maintenance, and probably the most enjoyable experience. All of that energy and time, poured into one bike. The idea is alluring and romantic...I just don't know how realistic. I'd want to be there, but how to choose....???
