hey, you can insert any adjective you want. lots of "crap" is considered "hip," so sometimes it's the dullest, oldest, most holes, most vintage...

i'm just playin'; no need to take me seriously.

habitus, i think i like you best when you're "a little grumpy"

yeah.

ink, you've been a little grumpy for a while now, right?

1 track bike
1 single speed conversion
1 bmx bike
1 road frame
Girlfriend's cruiser

1 track
1 fixed conversion
plus, lots of parts and a need for more bikes.

2 Roads
2 hybrids
2 kids bikes
2 tandems
(For a family of four)

1 geared mtb
1 fixed pink nightmare conversion
1 ssified Kona Smoke (currently rocking a dirtjump fork and tank-like wheels)
1 ssified old Raleigh mtb waiting for an IRO wheel for winter tank-like fixing (on its way from QC City)
1 steamroller frame waiting for me in Philly that will get the nightmare's parts, and the nightmare will become a ss cruiser for Philly nightmaring.

How many one speed bikes in how many cities are necessary?

I'm so moving to CO Springs and moving in next to isotopesope instead of finishing my bike projects. Looks like y'all ride the same size bike too. How convenient, neighbour!

1 1971 steel conversion
1 hybrid - my biggest mistake - but I did not know any better then and I was coming from back surgery

ya only need one. be a minimalist. don't crowd yer life up with stuff. be free. it feels good. as a sage said right here on this very site: throw yer tv at yer car. i still have a car, but don't feel good about it.

like the ol' zen story about the monk whose hut burned down--he said: "now i can see the sky".

nawm sayin'? do ya? :)

1 Miyata conversion - currently running SS, awaiting the cog/lockring
1 Surly 1x1 for the trails
1 mtb ss conversion
1 24" BMX cruiser

1 fixed, 1 road that never gets ridden anymore

i'm a 1-at-a-time kind of dude. don't know if i could handle a threesome, know what i mean?

my track bike doesn't do too well through rock gardens. my trials bike isn't too great at commuting, especially since it doesn't have a seat and has a near one to one ratio. my road bike doesn't do too well in the mud or snow. the bell on my chopper goes ding dong.

I dunno man... I could simplify by just using sporks too, but I really like how well my different silverware works. Especially my grapefruit spoons.

good 'un! i see what yer sayin' but yer junk'll weigh ya down. that's why ya ride fixed anyhow!! :)

i have attained a state of permanent grump. it just goes along with novice ascetic luddism. my computer is a constant source of personal shame.

Aeroplane...funny you should mention sporks...i'm wholly dedicated to mine.

I have about 20 in the garage... mostly cruisers that I'm building up for friends, a folding bike, a trike, two fixies, a single speed and some road bikes.

that's not too many. There's another 3-4 frames sitting around in the garage waiting to be either 1) built up or 2) stripped of paint and taken apart for frame building practice.

1 track frame coming, once the brazing skills are up to par.

i've been there.

"novice ascetic luddism": that's a good one. i've gone through some misanthropic periods in my life, but in the last few years have made addressing, in some way, racism, sexism, and heterosexism a priority. basically, people have become a priority. not sure how that relates.

I bought a new Ultegra 10-speed Scattante R660 roadie at a pawn shop last night for $700 + tax.
That makes fourteen bikes for me. Of those, six are fixie conversions and the Van Dessel is currently
running single-speed with a flip/flop fixie option. I have another project bike or two sitting around as well.
My house has bicycle related items in nearly every room.
:eek:

1 track
1 MTB geared 1x8
1 SS MTB
1 hybrid fixed/ss flip flop conversion

5 total:
- fixed conversion
- road bike
- mountain bike
- three speed cruiser
- folding bike (train/transit bike)
