I've got 29.........That's not the problem though. It's the various piles, boxes, stashes at friends houses and my guest bedroom filled with tons of parts that is the issue. Oh ya.........I have a frame at work too.

9 that are mine
1 is my wife's
2 are my son's
2 that are projects
1 frame for sale
That's 15, and it's as high as it's going to go. I've caught the other disease - self discipline.

23 complete bikes (more or less), 3 framesets, 4 bikes for my wife, one vintage kids' three-speed, and two kids' single speeds (one vintage, one contemporary). I definitely have enough (though every time I say that, I seem to acquire another!).

i jam my thumbs up and back into the tubes. this way i can point my fingers straight out in front to split the wind and attain an even more aero profile, and the usual fixed gear - zen - connectedness feeling through the drivetrain is multiplied ten fold because my thumbs become one with the tubing.
