1 Dawes Galaxy with a mongrel mix of Campag & Shimano components
2 Mick Gray 653 frame about to be built into road bike
3 keeping an eye out for a round-town beater, one that I don't mind locking up round Elephant.....only decided this morning that I wanted one, but n+1 never lies -

Down to 2 now and actually fine with that, Pompetamine for commuting, and an Alpitude for off road. Also have all the bits apart from a frame for another street mtb, but seeing as I have a slipped disc now commuting is the only riding there is at the moment. Sad times

I have these in pretty regular use
1 Surly 1x1 XTR / White industries
2 Klein Quantum race, 11 speed Record
3 Mercian Vigorelli fixed
4 Klein Performance, 9 speed D/A and mudguards
5 Klein Navigator 9 speed XTR, Rack and Mudguard Tourer
6 Spectre MTB prototype, 8speed XT
7 Marin Indian Fire Trail 8 speed XT now a rack and mudguard commuter workhorse
8 anonymous 8 speed MTB with Xtracycle Free radicalThese are complete and ready to go but are in the loft
9 Klein Quantum, 9 speed shim ergo
10 Klein Quantum 2, 9 speed D/A
11Klein Mantra 8 speed XTR
12 Klein Pinnacle 7 speed Deore
13 Klein Adroit 8 speed XTRI also have a Wilier LeRoi, a Bianchi EV3, A Dolan track champ, a BT stealth and a Graham Weigh that live with me as they belong in the family, but rarely get any use.
Plus several old frames and bits that morph into bikes of all sorts of configurations just for the craic.
It used to be really out of control though and I have actually got rid of a lot of stuff lately:- both my Bromptons, my 1947 Raleigh Clubman, a Klein, a GT Zaskar, a Saracen Kili flyer, an Argos randonneur, an Orbit tandem, a giant MTB, a Muddy Fox, and probably some I have forgotten about. It feels a bit clearer around the house now
I have a few beaters too that have been put together and are out on loan which I tend to forget about and only get reminded of when they break and need some attention -

- BMC Racemaster - Bling road bike
- Bob Jackson vigorelli - Nice light fixed cruiser
- Spot Brand Longboard - SS 29er
- Yuba Mundo - Family/cargo beast bike
Could really do with a boring wet weather bike. Seem to have several bikes, and several sets of mudguards. But none of them fit each other.

Yeah, I know there are gaps, whenever I see one of the ones I don't have I get tempted, but there are few good ones left, and the goods ones cost loads, and it isn't like I need any more.

- Clive Stuart 531DB Road (1969?): Used to race this one back in the '80s. Kept for nostalgic reasons.
- Bianchi Impulso Road (2012): Bought as a modern day equivalent of no 1. ^
- GT Zum S2 Hybrid (2009): Use this lots as it's comfy & hill-friendly.
- Felt QX120 Hybrid (2011): Bought new last year, then never used, as I bought 2.&3. instead. Need to sell this.
- Giant Rock SE MTB (2006): Use this on weekends away camping as it doesn't mind being left out in the rain. ( no 3. is taking over this role of late, so Giant looking like taking early retirement)
- GT Aggressor XC2 MTB (2009): Built this up in the winter to do some off-roading in Brechfa, Afan Argoed etc. when it's raining. Never used, 'cos it's always raining.
- Giant Avalanche 1.0 MTB/Hybrid (2006). Roadified this with different tyres & cassette to make it roll a bit better. Kept in my caravan. Used on summer weekends.
- Stealth Pursuit MTB BSO (2003): My first MTB - bought at Motor World for the princely sum of 120 pounds sterling. Surprisingly still in 1 piece. Kept in my caravan and used by friends/visitors who conveniently 'forgot to bring their bike'
- Trek Triton Fixed (2011): Nice Cr-Mo fixed/SS bike for road use.
- Fuji Track Classic Alloy (2012): Bought this recently to replace 9.^ as it has better BB height for indoor track use, if needed. Should really sell 9.
- Felt TK2 Track (2011): Bought recently & only used at Newport track (when I can get on there!).
- Claud Butler Majestic 531PG Tourer (1979): Almost forgot this one. Birthday present from my parents - my first 'real' (non-Halfreds) bike from a great little LBS.
- Clive Stuart 531DB Road (1969?): Used to race this one back in the '80s. Kept for nostalgic reasons.
dglshrn: since you are going country you wont need your Roberts track, so you can sell it to me, yes.
