Two. A BMX that I rode when I was a kid, and my city bike (cheap MTB). Soone to be three though, when I pick up my new XtC 2 tomorrow .

2. I've a hybrid that never ever lets me down, and an old road bike that someday I hope to restore. My wife owns a cheapo mountain bike. We've also got a child trailer for my daugter if that counts.

 

[wheelist]

Let's see.

A good MTB (for nice rides).
A downhiller (for steep rides).
A touring MTB (for long rides).
A road bike (for getting fit).
A winter bike (read **** road bike with mudguards).
A BMX (I don't know why).
A hotrod (Kona BikeHotRod - my lady doesn't know why)

That makes 7.

Is that too many for one person?

3 for me:


1- 1998 Raleigh M50 Mtn bike

2- 1979 Falcon Roadie....going to start rebuilding in the fall....steel
custom paint job soon to come also

3- My baby...2004 LeMond Tourmalet roadie...This machine ROCKS!!!

I am now in the market for a lesser bike to use as my rain/commuter bike
Probably a LwMond Etape or Specialized Allez.

I'm down to 2 bikes at present:

1.1999 Cannondale 700r and

2. 2005 Litespeed Vortex

Number 3 was a 1997 Mongoose hybrid, tricked out for road training. I lost it (and almost my life ) when I was hit by a bus two years ago.

cheap mtb
decent city bike for groceries and stuff
good road bike

 

[Karbac]

Six roadies.

One MTB fitted out with slicks, mudguards, and rear rack.

Seven seems like a sensible number to me.

Well...hmmmm...maybe eight...or nine...or...

a really old RIGGIO track bike (anyone know where these are from?)
I've saved a lot of my old frames for some reason, most of them broken or bent. Basso, Cannondale, Specialized, Panasonic.

gf has a 2 year old Coppi, daytona.

looking for a tandem and another tcr frame for a spare.

I just own my Giant Sedona DX that I started with 2 years ago when I got back into riding (just passed 1800 miles on the odometer this morning).

I plan to get a second (road) bike next year in order to be able to complete a century. Undecided on exactly what I will get, but I doubt that I would ever spend more than $600 on a bike.

Former bikes, a Western Flyer 5 speed (died of a broken frame), a 3 speed bike built from spare parts (thrown out while I was in boot camp), a Schwinn LeTour IV (sold to a room mate when I transferred), and a Sears road bike w/ 26" wheels (rusted for years in the back yard before being tossed when I bought my Giant).

Three. My hella old Univega Alpina. Then my mountain bike. An old GT RTS-2 (weird set up for dual suspension). And my Trek 470 road. I know, it is a heavy steel frame, but damn I love the thing and I have swapped out almost every part to it except the frame. She has taken a beating over the years, but I just haven't ridden anything as close to her....for what I want.
