How many bikes do you own?

Page
of 25
  • 5 road
    1 fixed
    1 ss
    1 mtb
    1 hybrid
    1 unicycle if that counts

  • unicycle = ½ ?

  • ONE. i resent people that call their perfectly nice bikes 'beaters'.

  • who loved mental arithmetic, which is apparently frowned upon by real mathematicians.

    Yep 'tis true, a lot of excellent mathematicians are rubbish at arithmetic.

  • 3............ it IS the magic number

  • nope........ it's 42

  • Also have 2 bmx

  • "Can anyone beat 9?"

    no one can ever, ever beat 9,

    heres how, multiply 9 x any number, it reduces to 9,

    watch,
    9 x 9 =81, 8 +1 =9
    9 x 723= 2943, 2+9 =11+4=15+3=18 1+8= 9

    9 is the number of cosmic awesomeness man

    Godwins!

  • soon i will have the alpha bike and the beta bike

  • Just the five(in order of preference):
    '88(ish) Pinarello Montello SS (best bike I've ever ridden)
    '09 LaPierre RCR-700 (flat bar racer, nice but no Pinarello)
    '73 Schwinn Speedster (refurb for a friend that I still seem to have)
    '87 Raleigh Rapide (v. old school 12 speed, bought new 23 years ago)
    ?? 'Skippy' Raleigh Ladies bike pulled from a skip (great pub bike)

  • 9 is the number of cosmic awesomeness man

    That's why I upgraded my ownership since my last post in this thread.

  • 1 mountain Bike
    1 fixed
    1 grifter

  • 1 fixie, 1 roady, 1 ss xc mtb, 1 jumpy/ hack mtb (not fully working), 1 old shitter in the rafters of my garage (mtbish) 1 shitty steel mtb (wifes old one) 1 halfrauds mtb (wifes).
    Hopefully soon an 80s roady too.

  • Boardman Road Team Carbon Ltd Edition
    Old Falcon Racer wich I found in my cousin's barn :-)
    Even older racer I bought from my neighbour - bit crappy but it introduced me to the joy of road biking so I love it anyway :-)
    1987 Marlboro Montreal racer I bought off ebay yesterday...to turn into a singlespeed.
    Schwinn mountain bike that I never ride!

  • As a family of 5, we have

    4x road
    2x 531 conversions
    2x time trial
    1x cross
    1x hardtail
    3x crappy hybrid bits of junk
    2x kids racing bikes
    2x Isla bikes
    2x first bikes with stabilisers

    Probably excessive.
    oh and another bike on order.

  • Willo, whos making the Ti frame for you?

  • Willo, whos making the Ti frame for you?

    I'm getting Sabbath to do it. It will be a bit of a cross between their September and Monday's Child, with geometry as per a Cyclefit CAD template that I had done. Double butted front triangle, single butted rear triangle.

  • bit of a dredge but I was wondering if i have too many bikes, or too similar

    ATM i have

    Fixed Brakeless Ti Burls
    Steel Lee Cooper Track Brakeless
    Langster for Polo
    BMC Geared for longer rides
    Keirin Frame Steel Brakeless
    Leader Alu general around london bike
    new BMX

    Projects:

    winter bike, alfine disc and v brakes mudguards
    Bianchi Pista D2 Alu in a few bits but should be rideable very soon.

    thats 9 on completion of projects.

  • I have 2, I am off to self harm now.

  • I have 2, I am off to self harm now.

    Ditto.. Only really riding one atm though.

  • One more...

    buy my keirin frame, alas i think the 57cm top tube maybe too short for your manly size

  • I feel a bit more normal after reading this thread. I sometimes feel that I have too many bikes

    1 road
    1 track
    1 road fixed
    1 TT bike currently fixed - shared with my brother
    2 mtb - SS and a freeride
    1 polo on the make

    3 frames waiting to be sold/used.

    These are just my bikes then there's my brother's and my mums

  • buy my keirin frame, alas i think the 57cm top tube maybe too short for your manly size

    That might be spot on. Hmm.

    NO! Get thee behind me Seban!

  • I have been indulging myself recently:

    Cinelli Mash
    Surly Long Haul Trucker
    Santa Cruz Chameleon
    Ellsworth Enlightenment

    I also have a Colnago C50 pista frame that I have sold and brought twice?
