I've got two bikes at the moment. My main single speed commuter (my method of transportation around campus and town) and a mid-70's Schwinn Varsity 10 speed that I ride around when I feel like over exerting myself (40 pounds does not a fast bike make) or for fun occasionally.

I had a cheap Diamondback mountain bike from Dick's that I'd had for years, but it got stolen over the summer. Can't really say I miss it too much

Also have a collection of old dead bikes behind my house, I think there's three mountain bikes, a hybrid, and a weird beach cruiser thing. They're useful to have around for parts occasionally, not good for much else...might fix up the cruiser since all it needs is a new back wheel and chain.

I had a low quality no-name frame I was going to make into a fixed, but it got stolen as well. I have bad luck sometimes...Still want to build a fixed from the frame up though, if I come across another frame (got the stolen one for free).

I have a road bike racer, fixie road bike, touring bike, sheety mtb, and no job. It pains me greatly

I've got two. My '09 Bianchi Pista fixed and an '07 Schwinn Fastback sport that I'm going to sell and build a more beater of a fixed. The Bianchi is too nice to lock up outside in the dark.

i think this makes it into my fav quotes hall of fame.

I own one, but would love to have a nice one to sink $3k into and then be too afraid of messing it up to ride it.

I have four.

But I don't own a steel bike. I won't be truly happy until I have one.

I have 14 in various states hanging in the rafters right now.

1 track - Fuji
1 fixed conversion - for rollers only
1 carbon road bike -Cannondale carbon 6
1 vintage road bike - Marinoni
1 geared CX bike - Cannondale CX-9
1 SS CX bike - Lemond Poprad
1 vinatge tourer - 85' Nishiki Cresta
1 commuter - Bridgestone 400 1x7
1 Hardtail MTB - Stumpjumper 98
1 SS MTB - Stumpjumper 97
1 SS townie - Raleigh something or other
3 cruisers - Schwinn

and several frames for future projects.

Have:
Fixed road
modern road
"Vintage" road
Mountain bike

Want:
Convert fixed road to SS cyclocross (new frame)
Sell mountain bike

I'm down to 3 right now (from 5 last summer)

I currently have every intention of building up a new fixed gear over the winter and come spring I will be reinvesting in road riding. The mountain bike needs a little TLC but should be up and running in a few weeks.

How many of you have a favorite? When you end up with more than one bike there almost has to be one you prefer over the rest right?

2, both are in my signature.

My dream stable would include current bike plus:
New Road bike with full dura-ace
A decent MTB to play around with
A fixed townie
A dedicated track bike (would give me an excuse to find a track and go to it)
Plus a large assortment of classic track/road bikes (I'd like to have something with Campy record because I think it's pretty)

Did a LOT of selling, donating, giving away, etc. to get down to a more manageable collection of bikes (still with lots of parts, wheels, etc. in storage). With my girlfriend riding more now (yay), she's got three bikes, and I live in a smaller place than I did before I moved recently, so several bikes/frames had to go. Here's what I've got:

track racing bike
mtb racing bike, geared 1x6
cx racing bike, single speed
road racing/training bike, geared 2x10
touring bike, geared 3x9
fixed road/rain bike
commuter/bar bike, single speed

My touring bike is a Karate Monkey, running gears, racks, fenders, etc. It used to be my single speed mtb, so I'll be building up a new ss 29er withing the next year or so, when I get bored only riding/racing on my geared mtb. Probably another Karate Monkey, or maybe a Salsa El Mariachi or Vassago Jabberwocky. Also, I work weekends at a shop that is a Trek dealer, and the Trek Earl looks like it could be a fun, super cheap (yay EP) ss beater, so I might end up getting one and leaving it at the shop for beer runs, pub crawls, etc. Otherwise, I'm pretty satisfied with my bikes.
