And I have three sets of tubular, carbon rim brake wheels - though one of the wheels is broken so I only use it to stretch tubulars. I'd consider selling some of them, but it's not worth the hassle at this point.

We are either giving away or selling the 10-spd gravel bike with QR wheels. It was my wife's, but it's way too small for her. Since getting her a new gravel bike, bother he main road and gravel bikes are both 12-spd Sram AXA. So that is nice. Part of me is tempted to upgrade my gravel bike to 12-spd AXS as well, to improve compatibility with her two bikes. Her rim brake bike just sits on the Kickr.

But for now, I'm planning to stick with my 10-spd road bikes as long as possible.

Oh and Tmonk, my wife's two 12-spd bikes are a TCR and Revolt. She likes that TCR more than any other bike she's had - which is why she got a Revolt.
Mine is about as bad.

my 11-speed road bike
my 10-speed TT bike
my 10-speed CX bike
my son's 10-speed CX bike (we can swap wheels between the two CX bikes, which is nice because I can have sets of mud/hardpack/slicks)
my 10-speed road bike (Campy, this mostly sits on the smart trainer)
my 11-speed mtb (disc)
my son's 10-speed mtb (disc)
my wife's 7-speed hybrid
my son's FG road bike
SSCX (mostly used as a shared pit bike, although I'll put platforms on it for mellow rides with my wife and running errands)
