How many different bikes do you have?

[GLC1968]

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

Wow, rocknrollgirl, 14 bikes! I think you win!

I thought DH and I were bad with our 9 bikes. How big is your garage?

I don't think you're going to find any help with that problem here.

Well, ok, you asked for it!

Titus RacerX 26" full squish 2007
Salsa Mamacita 29" 2010

Oh and I forgot he has a disassembled 26" mt bike down in the cellar also, but that really does not count...or does it??

I do not think we paid full price or close to for any of them. We raced on a sponsored team for 3 years and got fantastic deals and after that had a friend that owned a shop and got fantastic deals. My hubs build my SuperSix and his new road over a period of time.

Our garage is a two car that does not house cars, only toys and tools, generator, snow blower, that type of stuff. Eight of the bikes are hanging from the ceiling.

In answer to your " how big is your garage?" question my hubs said....Not Big Enough
