Only a couple.
Well, kind of.
- GT GTB track bike for track/long road rides.
- Seiber track frame mostly built-up (I stole the wheels for the GT, but it's getting new ones anyway), which will be for dicking around in the city.
- Sekai road frame getting rebuilt for a winter fixed with a brake and fenders and whatnot.
- SS MTB.
There's a Trek road frame out there not doing a whole lot right now, and half a dozen wheelsets laying around, plus my roommate's bike.

Also have one of these down in the parking garage:

Ninjas don't wear black to hide, but because it's slimming. They just say that it's to hide so it sounds cool.

Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa:
When I started thinking about fixies I had only 17 year old Romet Sport. Good ride, Reynolds 531 steel, 9.5kg, too relaxed angles. Now, in addition to it, I have:
2)steel Gianni Motta lugged funny TT bike, subsequently partially equipped with period correct C record parts, not ridable (yet)
3) titanium/carbon road bike acting to be Pinarello, which I have build frame up
4)FGG #2402, converted TT, which gets most miles.
I have just bought two more frames
including another titanium one: Tri Wheeler T1 for $70 - do you think I can fix a bike with 650c wheels?

Road bike.
3-speed coaster (bar/train station cruiser).
and another road frame waiting for me to get bored.
I'd like:
Tourer, possibly a recumbent.

when they start deteriorating in your care....other than by regular use. when you can no longer care for them, it's time to find them better homes.
