Too many if you ask my wife! LMAO!

Let's see:

1989 Fisher Gemini Tandem. Way too many miles on this one and it's been in storage for the past 7 years.

1977 Peugeot Womans Touring bike. Not ridden since we bought the tandem in 89. Is currently in pieces awaiting restoration.

1983 Schwinn Sierra, My First MTB. Bought to pull our twins in a Cannondale Bugger Trailer. Bike currently on loan to Brother In Law, status unknown.

1992 Trek 970 Singletrak 2nd MTB bought and a gift to myself for surviving Desert Storm deployment. This bike helped to blaze many a Trail at the Adirondack Scout Reservation in the early 90's to develop a MTB Program for the Boy Scouts. Currently on loan to my Brother in Ohio. Status unknown.

2000 KHS Aluminum Cruiser with 7 speed Nexus Hub. Bought on the cheap at the bike shop I worked for. Got the bike for the price of the hub alone and also picked up a honey brown Brooks in the deal. Bike is ridden by my son in law and is stored in my garage.

1999 Rans Rocket. My first bent! About 7500 mile on this one. Still looks new and freshly updated drivetrain and returned to totally stock. Only odd ball thing on this bike is the almost 2 inch wide Maxxis Hookworm tires I run on it pumped up to 110 psi. FAST and ODD looking!

Build Date 2007, Nashbar Chromoly MTB Frame. The bike that got me back in the saddle after a 7 year lay-off. Built for fast city riding with the occasional blast on the Greenway trail. About 500 miles since built and I'm loving this bike!

2007 Trek 7000 WSD. New bike for the wife. Replaced the old Peugeot with something I can get parts for. She's loving it, but needs to ride much more.

2006 In-Step Child Trailer. Bought to haul the Grand Son around. He loves it! He knows to fetch his helmet before we go for a ride.

I have 5:

2002 Lemond Zurich, my road bike

2007 Santa Cruz Superlight, MTB fully

2006 Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Comp, another MTB fully

2004 Specialized Stumpjumper M4 hardtail

1982 Specialize Expedition touring bike

Frankly I have no idea why I still have hte Expedition other than that bike has taken me,s everal time, across country, so I still have love for it. It has a nice little spot in the garage where it hangs. I keep toying with the thought of turning the Expedition into a single speed and using it as a computer bike.

So does it look like this one:



I built that one to commute on, has a touring crank set and 700c mountain rims, it is a bit heavy but then it's not meant to be a speed demon .

2.5

The two are listed in the sig - an old Schwinn 3 speed that I usually use to commute on (need new wheels) and a potentially older Raleigh 10 speed for weekend fun. Both were craigslist specials and have (as far as I can tell) all original parts, which means they need a lot of TLC right now.

The half is a Surly Long Haul Trucker frame/fork sitting in my basement waiting for me to get the others restored enough that I won't have to mess with them for a while and can build it up for medium-long touring.

2, and the beginning of a pile of parts that will be my third.

1991 Specialized Stumpjumper (The Brick) as my commuter.
1991 Schwinn Paramount PDG Series 5 (Japanamount) for my speed demon.
Parts that will eventually become a Surly LHT which will be my commuter/tourer.

Two:
07 Giant TCX
06 Trek 4300

I also had Trek 7500 , but sold it when upgraded to Giant TCX.
Somehow Trek 4300 does not see too much action this year on mountain trails. Only 3-4 trips vs weekly last year.

Had to lighten the load so I'm down to two:

2006 Lemond Buenos Aires
1997 Specialized S-Works (mtb)

I just traded my old Bridgestone mtb and I'm giving my ultegra equipped Schwinn to my little brother. Depending on where I end up, I'm going to start looking to replace my S-Works with a full suspension mountain bike or I may look for a cyclocross bike to race on.

Not soon enough! I just dropped the down payment in order for Co-Motion to begin the engineering process. The shop drawings should be in my hands in about a month. After I approve them it will take about 10 weeks to build it. I might be on it by Thanksgiving.

I've forgotten a couple. Mr. East Hill has a 4300 Trek MTB, and a 1980 Schwinn LeTour.
I've also got a Raleigh mixte being painted for me by Dr. Deltron.

If you haven't seen me posting mostly in the Classic & Vintage forum, you aren't looking. I love steel bikes. The only bike I own which is not steel is the Dolce Elite.

Oh, and I ride every one of them.
