I have four at the apartment in the city (Lemond, Volpe, Viscount fixie, Raleigh International). The International will be working soon. (Yeah, right.)

I also have a Raleigh Twenty at the apartment, but it's a back-burner project.

I have three at the country place, the Super Course and the McLean, plus there is the tandem which I need to get working.

I have two three-speeds at my mother in law's place but I plan to give one away, as it needs too much work.

So the total is ten, not including my wife's bikes. My wife owns three.

Nine rideable, two are my kids, count includes a Burley tandem.
Thirteen frames/partial builds. I'm basing this off of my Flickr album. I think I'm missing a couple of frames in the pics.

Currently seven complete bikes. Two are mine, two are my wife's, two belong to one son and one to the other. I also have frames and almost enough parts to make an additional eight - a BMX for the boys, a MTB for one of the boys, a hybrid frame for when the boys are a bit older, two old ten speeds, two cheap mtbs and one good mtb.

4 with a 5th pending. Mine.
2 with no pending. Hers.

3, 1 done and 2 under construction. My friend's.

1 MTB that was dropped off for a tuneup, and I can't find anything to tune on it.
I guess I'll just wash it, lube it, and call it a day.

Here in the USA, 2; both Raleigh Gran Prixes, one 74 and one 76. The 74 is your typical drop bar road bike with Shimano 105 8 speed drive train. The 76 is a wide bar single speed.

In Cambodia
5, Fuji Stratos road, 3 of them are rebuilt japanese hybrids; a 29r, a wide bar single speed, a hybrid for in the city, the last is a 83 Gazelle to be built into a 28" wheeled market bike.
2 for my wife.
plus 5 or 6 others to be fixed and given away

Let's see at home I have the Peloton, Miyata 912, Gazelle, Nishiki, Motobecane trail bike and two frames to be built (Dave Kane Special Lightweight 653 and 81 Trek 750) a disassembled Schwinn Homegrown and my daughter's bike at work I have my Serotta and Trek 600 series. There are two more on the patio at home, one is waiting to go to Burning Man and the other is the next size up for my daughter when she grows out of her current bike.

So 7 rideable bikes, 3 unrideable and my daughters bike.

Let's see.. in the garage, Fuji, Trek, Trek, Miyata, Holdsworth and Schwinn. All ready to ride. In the shed, Trek, Schwinn, Schwinn, Univega and Univega. All need work and all but the Trek will be for sale when they are finished. In Florida, Trek and Jamis. First time adding them up in a while, comes out to unlucky 13. I'll add my wife's 2 in for 15.

Counting only complete bikes: 9 at home and 4 at a second house, all road bikes with drop bars, ranging from go-fast to touring. There's too much overlap between them, and the rational thing to do would be to sell most of them. I am trying to reduce, and have succeeded a little, but I can't seem to sell more than 2 or 3 without then buying another one.

4 up and running and a 5th at the framebuilder (for an appraisal re: gravel-worthiness; 1974 Raleigh Carleton Competition, one sweet off pavement ride). If it passes, WB bosses, paint and 531 decals.

Five bikes is for me, plenty.

Being a man of moderation, i am back down to 4... finally. Sold/traded the Miyata & Chicago Schwinn. The Ibis (road), Bottecchia (road), GT (mtn), and Bruce Gordon of NM (TT bike). The TT bike is the only one I can't ride. This count did not include wife's Schwinn Hollywood, and some bike... and bike I repair for others.
