Let's talk numbers - How many bikes do you have?

  • You see quite a few of the stainless ones about, I've yet to see one in baby blue mind

  • I think the correct name is Gorgeous Baby Blue

  • So which one's the goat and which one's the tricycle?

  • Really?? I'll have to check the paperwork

  • I heard thats cause the paint is the best bit of a Foffa and it is all the bike robbers nab... all those stainless ones were once painted...

  • When asked this question I always smile and say a few but to be honest I have no idea

  • Sadly I own neither s goat nor a tricycle, the good news is they do a great pint. Check it out if you are in Bournemouth.

  • I got the paint insured separately.

  • Road: Cannondale SystemSix
    Tour/Commute: Brother Kepler
    Track: Cinelli Parallax

  • I feel like I've currently got the perfect spread of bikes for me, in a total disregard for the n+1 rule:

    Ever so slightly ratty Superia track bike - commuting, errands, fun rides involving pubs
    Terry Dolan Ribble - for proper rides
    Straggler (plus hamax & front rack) - child-ferrying duties, carrying less noisy things, potential light touring

    My wife has a cross-check for commuting which is currently mothballed since she got too pregnant to ride it.

  • N+1 is for people with too much money and not enough imagination.

    Road/Tourer/Hybrid/Commuter/Beater/Fancy = CAAD12
    Road/Tourer/Hybrid/Commuter/Beater/Fancy/Fixie = Cinelli Vigorelli

  • 4 soon to be 3. My list is pretty modest, I operate a strict one in one out policy due to space constraints.

    Colnago C40 B Stay w/Chorus 10 Speed
    Planet X RT-90 Disc w/Sram Force 11 (Soon to be broken up and built into a Croix De Fer)
    Brompton
    Dolan Preffisio the most short lived bike ever (Now in bits to be sold)

  • Down to 4 since moving onto a boat:

    Kona Paddy Wagon
    Look KG some numbers
    Colnago CX1
    Planet X pro stealth (pink)

  • I'm just on 3 at the moment
    Arkose gravel grinder
    Cannondale CAAD7 Saeco
    Cannondale CAAD12 Disc

    And the GF has
    Look KG something or other RGR Basket lyf bike

  • Oh and a couple of rarely used BMXs

  • My list is getting a little out of hand now:

    Felt F1 - plastic bike
    Cinelli Supercorsa - favourite bike
    Cielo Classic Sportif - winter bike
    Cannondale CAAD 10 Track - tarck machine
    DeRosa Titanio - on order
    Nagasawa Track Special - brakless
    Concorde - commuter
    Dahon Uno - folder
    Kona King Kikapu - vintage MTB
    Scott Scale 730 - carbon MTB
    Intense M1 - last DH rig
    PK Ripper - last racing BMX

    If I could only keep one... Supercorsa. All day.

  • Fairly settled with what I've got.

    Genesis Volare fast summer bike
    Genesis Equilibrium disc winter bike
    Brompton

    T3 TT bike (in parts)
    Vigorelli HC bike (in parts)
    Jowan 531 skidder (in parts)

  • Indeed. I wouldn't want to own bikes I didn't ride - a principle I'm currently trying to apply to my record collection.

  • Riding records never works out well. Do not ask me how I know this.

  • These bikes are being used regularly and/or being built up:
    Talbot Track aka Barbie (daily smasher)
    Brooklyn Gangsta V1 (second daily smasher)
    Moots Routt Di2 (the only geared one in the herd)
    3Rensho track (the lifelong ongoing Campag/Cinelli NJS project)
    Kalavinka Track
    Cannondale Track (polished)
    Roberts Track

    • 7 so far..

    All these frames are either for sells or won't see the light of day for a good while:
    Roberts Track
    Umezawa NJS track
    Prinicipia track
    Fort roadie
    And who knows how many more frames/whole bikes in boxes and wrapped up in various storage lockers...

    I think I need something special, Italian and track based to complete the herd..

  • How about a Somec '70s Pista? Got one for sale if you are interested

  • My shed can perfectly store 2 bikes but can squeeze 3. Down to 2 right now but it means I'm constantly seeing bikes or frames and thinking 'well I could just squeeze that in and put up with it being cramped'.

    Currently riding:
    All-City Space Horse - Commuting/touring/long slow rides. Modern
    Massi Mega-Team - Faster shorter rides. Vintage

    Kinda looking for a modern quick bike, or maybe a modern-groupset-old-frame project, but my disposable cash has been going elsewhere lately.

  • @Gaston started typing when the thread was opened. some say, he's still at it..

  • cannondale 613
    cannondale track
    cannondale streetx
    vintage hungarian made track bike
    pesenti fly(?)

  • S-Works Tarmac Road
    650b single speed Arkose commuter/cx/gravel/xc
    Santa Cruz Nomad cc Mtb
    Currently 3.
