I'm at basically 4 (beater drop-bar fixed, folding, traditional touring, hardtail 26er mtb) plus various bits (road frame, retrobike at my parents' house, ...) & can't imagine going much lower, they're for pretty different things.
If I had somewhere to store them, tho, I would definitely have more bikes - and would blur some of those categories... (29er ssmtb, drop-bar gravel, folding mtb i.e. all-packa, fast road, moustache-bar dinglespeed road, ...)
