...I don't really feel like I own them. They're mostly older steel frames, and now that I've restored them, they should outlive me. I'm more like a caretaker. |

The tough ones to remember are the various hand-me-downs we had as kids. We lived near this much-larger family that had about eight kids, all of them older. We got ALL their old bikes, clothes, toys, shoes, etc...

Besides the four in the stable thread, there would be, working backwards:
Yokota Grizzly mountain bike, maybe 1990 26 in. Schwinn Paramount, '70s, silver, stolen :( 24.5 in Crescent, '70s, Romana 300 (actually my father's but I raced it) Romana 120 my training bike as an Intermediate Raleigh 3-speed, became my paperboy bike Red Schwinn with 20" wheels that I learned to ride on The tricycle with the extra-big front wheel... |

Don't know the year. Schwinn 754 bought new in 1990. Bianchi SLX frame bought new in 1990 and built up with Shimano 600. Trek 930 MTB bought new in 1991. Guerciotti TSX frame bought new in 1993 and built up with Shimano. Think the Ultegra name had been adopted by then. Cannondale M 300 won in a photo contest (3rd prize) in 1998. Cannondale T 700 bought new at the end of 1998. (Good end of year discount.) Colnago Dream Plus built up in 2001 with DuraAce. BikeFriday New World Tourist bought new in early 2000s. Maybe 2003.

1985 Centurion Sport DLX;
1986 Schwinn Paramount; 1989 Cinelli Supercorsa. |
Hadn't thought about it really.
Do I count the 'zero bikes'? just counted 30 in the garage and small storage. 2 belong to my son, 2 exclusively the wife's. Only 4 are not road worthy. There have been ~15 that got moved on to other owners (5 in one sale). Then there are 4 zero bikes - sister, brother, daughter & friend houses - at homes I visit where I may need a bike that fits. Riding is more fun than walking. Roll on. Clear your handlebars and your mind will follow. |
