  • Currently a Charge Plug as the main bike, slowly being upgraded to be lighter and stonger and better than it came out of the shop.
    Also an Archie Wilkinson speedway frame being built into a beater and an old diamondback BMX that's being stripped and rebuilt like my first BMX was. That probably won't be started till the summer.

  • hmmm what you gonna sell ?

  • got 5

    Eddy Merckx Corsa Extra - 88 geared steel
    Gazelle Mondiale track bike - fixed steel
    Iro Angus - fixed steel
    Specialized P1 - ss DJ mtb, steel

    and my new Eddy Merckx EMX-1 (carbon) - which will arrive next week.

    I'm probably going to sell the mtb though - just don't ride anymore and it's taking up space. N-1

  • There are 5 currently residing in our pied-a-terre.

    One I can actually ride (the stealth), one only missing a saddle (the Kalavinka) and one in bits (the road bike). Mrs b&d has one she can ride (Dutch bike thing) and her fixed is almost finished (a tiny 1950's track/path frame acquired from Hilary).

  • 81 Ti Raleigh Team Track - just finished
    83 Ti Raleigh Pro 531c - currently being put back together
    90's Raleigh M-Trax Titanium and steel frame - currently on the Turbo.
    Owen Blower 653 frame
    2000 Kona Explosif
    93 Saracen (they were good back then) in pieces with Manitou 4's in box.

  • 3.

    Might sell one of them. Then I might buy another one.

  • 07 Langster (pub bike)
    08 Condor Pista (posh bike)
    90 Rocky Mountain Hammer (old/off-road bike)

  • I get constant ribbing from family and everyone I know who doesn't cycle about having more than one. And so I should.
