So How Many bikes do you own ...

yeah, you can only ride one at a time, but I do own 4 bikes.

Lemond road bike, Gary Fisher Full Suspension MTB, Touring bike that I built from spare parts and a Nashbar steel frame, I actually commute on this bike during the winter/Fall/Inclement weather, then I have a loaner MTB that I built from an old junk frame that I found on Ebay. The loaner I ride around the neighbor hood, that way no one wants to "Barrow" the bike on a permanent basis.

now that doesn't even count the bikes that the family rides, and to think we are getting a new bike tomorrow, seems that my daughter did a bit of extra work for the shop that she works at, and she ended up with a tandem 7 speed beach cruiser, that should be fun around the neighbor hood, but I really have no idea where we are going to store the thing .

Only two. Trek 7000 mountain bike and Trek 1200 road bike. The road bike sees way more use than the mountain bike. The road bike will be replaced as soon as I decide what I want.

Edit: I just discovered what the current Trek 7000 looks like. Mine is nothing like today's model.

85 Raleigh Wyoming, which is my commuter, and a 78 Schwinn Traveller that I'm partially restoring while riding. Then there's the other 4 bikes hanging in the garage that belong to my wife and 3 of my kids that get used regularly, and the cheap BMX out in the shed that my daughter's friends ride when they sleep over. That's 7 in the household.

2007 18" Trek Navigator, named Excelsior after the poem by Longfellow. Purchased December 2006. Over 1600 miles Excelsior and I have traveled. Ex is my first bike, and despite the fact he's clunky and slow, he'll always be special. He's now my commuter, having been replaced as my main bike by...

2008 20" Trek 7.5 fx, named Roark after the hero of Rand's The Fountainhead. Roark is faster and lighter than Excelsior, and I'm using him now for my 'event' rides such as the MS City to Shore in a month.

I'm looking for an early nineties Centurion Ironman Expert to turn into a fixie. If I can find two I'd leave one as a 6spd in memory of the one I had stolen that started my addiction.

Darn, I mispelled Tourmalet. The Tourmalet is all aluminum. Is the Versaille the cf and steel bike? I almost got one as it was on sale for only $200 more then the Tourmalet.

Most of all I like the fit of the Tourmalet. If I ever go all carbon, I'll get a Lemond. Most likey the Zurich.

I have 5:

1999 Ionic Columbus Nemo stealie with 2004 Campy --she's the 'daily' ride. Smooth as butter, if a little soft in the BB (I read once I'm technically too heavy for the Nemo tubes)

2006 Blue Racing Cycles RC4-AL, built up with 2003 Campy Record. Fast, corners on rails, still comfy for all day (and I mean all day)

2006 Kona Paddy Wagon fixed gear --the bar bike, toodling with friends and winter spinorama

2007 $45 Nashbar mtn frame special 8 spd commuter. She needs fenders and lights when the time comes, but she's the commuter.

And a Bianchi CuSS single speed mtn bike. Picked up off of ebay for $400 about a year ago, still haven't ridden it on dirt yet. Guess I'm really a roadie?

Two (see sig). There are about 5 more that I'd like to have, but one thing at a time (I'm moving this winter, and preparing to purchase a new car next year - new toys will have to wait).

I'll probably end up selling the Hardrock soon. I almost never ride it now that I have a proper road bike.

yeah the versaille is a carbon spine and cross bar. the chain stays, and the rest of the frame is steel, it is a great ride and a comfortable bike, the Zurich last year was the same thing, carbon/steel.
