I am just wondering how big is everyones "bike family?" As in how many of those wonderful pieces of machienery do you own?

My Family:
A Schwinn turned SS,
a Gary Fischer Big Sur ---first REAL mtn bike (can't part with her)
My beloved GT Zascar Pro---> fastest thing on earth painted school bus yellow!
Trek 2100 ---> carbon fiber road bike (my commuter)
a Seven Axiom----> my newest addition, getting her home from the LBS for the first time Saturday


Still pondering a Kona Stinky Dee Lux for down hilling..... can I have enough bikes, or is there no such thing?

Now lets see...

My bikes - an aluminium Condor ( my posh bike)
A steel framed Paganini ( my winter bike)
A huge scaffolding pole of a mountain bike from a Halfords shop. (Not very good but I like the wide tyres after my road bikes)
Hoping to get a Kona to replace this fairly soon.

BF's bikes - you might spot a theme with them

Battaglin Votex - posh carbon fibre summer bike. His pride and joy. Made to measure from the factory in Italy
Battaglin -something. I forget the name. Aluminium 'winter' bike.
Battaglin steel framed track bike
Battaglin - aluminium low pro time-trial bike
Kona Cinderkone mtb - looking a bit sorry for itself at the moment.

I think 8 bikes in a 2 bedroom flat is quite enough! Our spare room could double up nicely as a bike shop!!

My bikes ........

Custom built Daye Yates in sparkly pink/lilac .... summer road bike
RSP- hard tail MTB
Dawes tourer - winter/commuting bike
Dawes - back half of MTB tandem.

Husbands bikes .......
Thorn cylosportif - summer road bike
RSP - hard tail
An old MTB which has been upgraded and resprayed - commuter/winter bike
Halfords own brand road bike - on the turbo, or on loan to friends as encouragment to buy thier own and join us in cycle heaven.
And of course front half of afore mentioned tandem

And I think we've got a couple of sad case frames in the cellar which might one day make it back on to the road........ you never know.

You can't have too many bikes! That said, I feel like my "stable" is a bit small after reading some of these posts. ;-) But I love what I have:
*Trek 5200 WSD Project One - Metallic Flake Yellow - My new baby this year that fits be PERFECT! First time for that to happen. It's pure joy to ride.
*Trek 2100. - Clear coat carbon - My faithful workhorse. I use it for winter rides and on the trainer.
*Trek 6500 WSD mountain bike, hardtail. My first and only so far. Am dreaming of a Fuel WSD for next year..... maybe.....
And that's it..... my husband doesn't ride, tho' he has a Bianchi of some sort. Doesn't get used, tho.
None of my kids ride, so no bikes there.
Can you see a pattern with the Treks here? I work summers part-time at a bike shop, a Trek dealer, so I get a great discount. As long as the bikes work for me, I'll stick with it. It'd be fun to try something else, tho'.
