How many different bikes do you have?

[Trek420]

This thread would be even more epic if it came with pics... just sayin'!

I think we have 9. Let me count. My Italian steel road bike is in the "show us your steel road bike" thread, so is Knott's Waterford Cross. We have 3 mixte's which may all be in the "Show us your mixte" thread; an old Motobecane that's now a freewheel and has a thread of her own regarding the rebuild, and 2 Soma Buena mixte's. If there was a "Show us your cross bike" thread there'd be Knott's Waterford again and our 2 Salsa Vaya bikes. I have an old GT Outpost trail which is about to be donated, thinning the herd and has a thread of her own regarding the rebuild, repaint project. Knott has a 1980's Giant that was a thrift store find and is now simply gorgeous.

So 9, will be going down to 8 but then we plan to get a tandem. Thinking of the Hase Pino All Rounder https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOmciZf2pGg

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....)

[Brina]

Three.

Ruby Comp - might be looking to sell. Shoulder issues result in pain when I ride -more bike than I really need
Bianchi Cameleonte Quatro Dama - just ordered haven't even ridden it yet - upgrading from an older Bianchi hybrid that I am handing down to my son
Phat Cycles - beach cruiser

[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).

[MarieV]

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

[MarieV]

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.

[rocknrollgirl]

Well, ok, you asked for it!

Mine:
Titus RacerX 26" full squish 2007
Salsa Mamacita 29" 2010
Giant Lust 27.5 " 2014
Cannondale SuperSix 2011
Cannondale CAD something. I bought her off a friend. She lives on my trainer although she is very pretty for a cellar dwellar
QuintanaRoo TT bike 2011
Trek 7500 FX townie 2004

My husband
Salsa Selma single speed 29er 2010
Niner Air9 hardtail 29er 2008
Trek Superfly full squish 29er 2014
Giant something or another road bike 2009
Neil Pryde full carbon road bike that he just built himself 2014
Kestrel TT bike 2011
Vintage Atalia steel frame roadie lord only knows

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
