It has been ages since I updated this thread. In the meantime my bike inventory has gone all over the place.
At one point I decided I wanted to spend more time riding bikes, instead of building and hoarding them. To make that happen, I got out of road biking and focussed solely on mountain biking. I also ditched all my 'just for the fun of it' bikes. As a consequence I sold all off all the bikes from the previous pages. Somewhere along the line my passion for everything odd and unusual got the better of me though: I once again have too many bikes and not enough time to ride them.
My main bike right now is a rather funky Koga Y-tec Superwinner. I bought the frame for next to nothing and spent way too much time hunting down period correct Ultegra parts. It rides surprisingly well, but hasn't really grown on me just yet. For some reason it just doesn't feel retro enough, which I was expecting.
Other bike projects currently in my shed are a weight weenie mountain bike, a sort of vintage weight weenie road bike and a Bike Friday triple tandem. More on those when I make more progress on them.
