How many bikes do you have?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

How many bikes do you have?

Currently, I only have two bikes: a race bike and an all-road/adventure bike. Last year was a great year to sell off my other bikes.

2. One road, one gravel. Road gets the most use.

About a dozen scattered around the world...
6 Bare frames ( two will be built up soon ) 9 Complete bikes... 10 if you include the tandem.
Will sell off a few frames soon, I swear. Anyway, I use ALL the built up ones at least once per year, & some everyday.

Signature needs some explanation,
full bikes:
1. BMC Race Machine (daily)
2. BMC Team Machine ( kept in Switzerland...)
3. Merlin MTB set up as a 6 speed hard-tail w/slicks ...Lol's it's fast)
4. Raleigh Folding 20 ( been round the world & put on a diet )
5. Trek 2300 (daily driver)
6. Trek 1200 ( spare bike )
7. Ti Swift ( nice! )
8. Serotta ( very nice paint-job but see's little use)
9. Grandis (fixie conversion)
10. Santana Tandem (full Campy)


Frames:
a."White-Label" Rossin Record ( nice, slight ding in seat stay, an early frame )
b.80's Pinarello Traviso (soon to be painted & built-up frame)
c. Trek 800 (nice metallic brown, made in USA, frame only)
d. another Rossin ( bare frame w/ no paint on the list to restore & sell)
e..1970's or '80's Track Frame ( needs repair / will build up soon)
f. S&S coupled Erickson ( big dent in top tube, but I need to build it up soon )


Also, Wife has a Trek 2300, too & Peugeot mixte, single-speed ( I ride it 1x per year) & she has a Peloton, i have never been on but she uses it 6 days a week, it is the only thing on the list bought 'new' everything else besides the ti swift, was bought used and nothing is newer than 2011-ish ...most is from the '70's, 80's or 90's only about four are perfect...

I know, right?! If only she understood why I don't wanna ride a road bike in the mountains, or a mountain bike on the road, or the tandem when I'm alone... and of course a velodrome requires a fixie, commuting requires a different bike... and we might as well have a spare bike of each type, you know, just in case.

I'm not crazy.

Back up to 7 today by nabbing a 2018 Giant Contend 2 in almost as new condition for £250 ($329) - looking at the wheel rims I really don't think it's been used although I did need to replace the rear brake cable which wasn't moving freely and was frayed. It will be my commuter bike for Spring and Summer. First proper ride tomorrow.

Hello, I am newbie.
Never enjoy biking until recently I have a chance to try a vintage road bike, a Norco Magnum Special Edition.
Then I have another one, a Fiori Modena.
Really enjoy biking now.

Hello ,
I recently found another vintage road bike, a Fuji Special road racer in yellow colour.
It rides nicely.
I have three road bikes now: a Norco, a Fiori and a Fuji.
Enjoy biking everyone.

I have four riders and four more in my storage room waiting on rebuilding and or restoring.

Then my grandkids have a couple of bikes here, my wife has one, I have one that belongs to a local nonprofit that has been in my garage for two years, and there are two I still have that belong to a couple from church.

There would be a few more but local flippers think those boomers are rare and collectable and I gave a couple away.
