Six bikes, not too bad.
It's lucky for me that my ex got the dining room table in the breakup. That leaves the dining room free for bike storage.

I have five complete bikes, three that get ridden regularly. I'd rather not know if I have enough extra parts to build another one.

When I'm in the garage working on one I feel like people are being nosey so I try to hide them but you can't hide 5 bikes.

If I recall correctly 10.. still caffeinating though, and there's some frames in the rafters.. a trailer or two.. definitely enough parts to build another 10 at least...

I'm at 18 bikes and three frames. Plus I have two storage shelf units full of bike parts in boxes and a lot of wheels and rims . . . . At least I'm not running out of projects (or parts) anytime soon, .

The bike in the 1st pic has gold bar ends and logos on the seat. It's not in the 2nd pic. The Fuji in the 3rd pic has disc brakes and silver on the rear of the saddle and is also not in the 2nd pic.

I use to like "collecting" bikes but I found I rarely rode them all. I'm down to 2 and one frame and I only ride one of them most of the time. This coming Spring, I think I'll sell the one I don't ride and the frame and just keep the one I ride. I'm only a recreational cyclist that rides one day a week so I don't have a desire nor the space to keep a bunch of bikes that don't get used.

I am in the process of building a larger barn to I can get my stuff unstacked and spread out a bit.
