    Hmmm - Let's see:

    Hers:
    Bike Friday Pocket Crusoe
    Cannondale R600 ("Blueberry")
    Surly Crosscheck
    Trek 520
    Lynskey Procross w/Custom Blacksheep Fork
    Old Rockhopper (should sell)

    His:
    Trek 730 Multitrack (commuter, completely changed from stock)
    Trek 2000 (trainer bike - headset trashed from sweat)
    Bike Friday Pocket Crusoe
    Lynskey Procross w/Custom Blacksheep Fork

    I am sort of thinking of trading both the 520 and the cross check for a Straggler - yet to be determined. I also really want a Brompton to help out with my commute. Sigh. Always N+1

    Small world

    I borrowed a friend's brompton for some test riding, and I don't love it as much as I thought I would. There is quite a bit of drag from the rear hub. I've heard flats are a bear to change on the 16" wheels (never mind disconnecting everything....)

    Three and a half for me.

    Road, commuter (which is a steel touring bike) and mountain. I also have a new 'around town' bike in mid-build stage. It's a lovely Soma Mixte frame that's been collecting dust in our garage for like 18 months now and is finally getting some parts attached to it!

    My H is down to three as well, road/touring, CX/road and mountain.

    Unfortunately, none of them are getting ridden by either of us...but we hope to remedy that soon (or at least I do...he'll have to wait to be off the crutches).

    My name is Marie, and I'm a bike-a-holic. It's been less than a month since my last bike purchase.

    I have five bikes:


    2013 Colnago CLD (40s): My fast carbon bike for long and hilly rides


    2011 Bianchi Vigorelli (44 cm): My first road bike that fits me, now my steel commuter/rain bike with rack and fenders


    2007 Bianchi Eros Donna (44 cm): My latest acquisition, found in mint condition on CL for $425, my fast steel bike for longer rides around town


    1991 Giant ATX 780 mountain bike (16"): My first real (non-K-Mart) bike that I got in grad school, now my farmers-market/picnic-and-wine-tasting/short-rides-around-town bike. With a rack it weighs over 30 lbs, but except for the saddle, tires, and bar grips, everything is still stock on this 23-year-old bike.

    I also have a barely used 1995 15" Bianchi Nyala mountain bike I got on CL since I wanted a lighter lugged steel Bianchi mountain bike, but I hate the gripshifters and lower-end drivetrain on it. I'm still trying to decide if I want to upgrade the drivetrain or wait for a near-mint, higher-end 15" Bianchi Grizzly, Peregrine, etc., with a Deore groupset to show up on CL. I know, I have a problem.

    I guess the first step in getting help is admitting you have a problem.....we currently have 14 bikes between the hubs and I. Seven each. You should see our garage. I have two road, 3 mountain a TT bike and a townie. He has two road, three mt a TT bike and a vintage.

    Holy cow...we need help
